Independent Nature 2002–2007 is a compilation album released by Ontario blackened doom metal band Woods of Ypres in 2009. The only compilation released by Woods of Ypres, this album was both the band's first release after relocating to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario in 2008 and their last full-length release through Krankenhaus Records. Four songs each from Woods of Ypres' first three albums (Against the Seasons: Cold Winter Songs from the Dead Summer Heat, Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth, and Woods III: The Deepest Roots and Darkest Blues) were included on this CD, and were presented in chronological order, documenting notable tracks from the band's early black metal-centric era.
