I enjoy living in a rural area and I understand your sentiment, but disagree with your reasoning. Somebody owns the forest behind me; as much as I like it, I don't feel right restricting what people can do with their private property. That's what public forest is for; it's land that is held in trust for all the people. Obviously, I wouldn't like it if someone built a mall next door to me, but in a philosophical framework that includes land as private property (which is how I can own the little bit of land that I have and plant trees and garden on it), I have to accept that other people have rights on the land they own.
