Nature & Outdoors Emoji

Nature emoji are having a moment. Between cottagecore aesthetics, outdoor fitness content, and the general desire to touch grass, these emoji are showing up everywhere from hiking blogs to plant parent Instagram accounts. They're also some of the most beautifully designed emoji across platforms — Apple's animals are practically illustrations.

This collection is for anyone who posts outdoor content, talks about weather more than they probably should, or just wants their messages to feel a little more connected to the natural world. We picked emoji that represent real experiences — the animals you actually see, the weather you actually talk about, and the plants that show up in real-life conversations (not just the obscure Unicode botanical entries).

Fair warning: nature emoji are where platform differences get wild. Google's dog looks nothing like Apple's dog. Samsung's sun used to have a face (weird). The emoji here are recognizable everywhere, but if you're building a brand around nature content, check your renders. Also, don't sleep on the weather emoji — a well-placed 🌧️ can set a mood better than any filter.
