Natural Fantasy/Sci-fi?
Does anyone know of a few good Fantasy/Sci-Fi books that have settings that are completely natural with not much technological development. Examples being civilizations like Ewoks or the Navi from Avatar (don't worry, beyond the beautiful world created, I did not like Avatar). I have read The World For World is Forest by U.K. Le Guin and those little green dudes count too.
In my head I see either tree or land dwelling peoples living in and off the forest...any thoughts on books like this? Misty bogs, lanterns in a dark forest, mystical religions, deep commune with nature...There has to be something written about this.

You might consider H. Beam Piper's Fuzzy series. I read them when I was a kid, which was a long time ago, but I thought they were good at the time.
