Many studies have been written on the subject of Philomath Society which existed in Vilnius in the years 1817–1824. However none of them describe the way of perceiving nature by the Philomaths. This article aims in characterizing relations between human and nature on the example of members of the Vilnius youth association. Moreover, there will be presented the circumstances of contact with nature, its influence on mood and attitude of the Philomaths, as well as the use of natural values for pedagogical purposes. The author of this article analyzed the Philomaths’ letters written in the years 1817–1823 and the memoirs of Philomaths’ friends.
