Thoreau. I was introduced to him in school and have always enjoyed his work.

My favorite environmental writer is Terry Tempest Williams. Refuge is my favorite, but her others are good as well.

William Wordsworth
Not necessarily a naturalist, but his poetry always reflects the mood and harmony of the nature around him. i.e.Influence of Natural Objects
and of course,
"Let Nature Be Your Teacher"
