Sure, if you completely disregard the context. “Natural” when talking in the context of humans is “nature vs man”.

A beaver dam is nature. The Hoover dam is man-made. If you want to red herring you could say “but man is part of nature” - there’s no point to doing so other than to argue semantics, but you could.
