Neutral;Normal;Nature

Is nature in its normal state neutral? The 'nature' I'm referring to is the pure simple one of trees and plants competing for sunlight and water. There's this constant struggle for survival but all at a biological and physical plane. There is no mind controlling the actions of the plants. So if neutrality is a state of mind then nature is freed from it which consequently means that nature fulfills being indifferent, emotionless, impartial; neutral. Or does this internal struggle between the plants exclude them from the subject? OR consider that neutrality only qualifies as a mind set and all material goods fall out of the discussion… but what do we do with the values that we projected on to them? Does the mind un-neutralize neutral objects of a purley material nature because of the burden of knowledge?
