looking to nature for inspiration

[angliholic]

These Canadian scientists aren't the only ones looking to nature for inspiration. More and more inventors are also discovering that the natural world contains many useful designs.
Could I say "turning to nature for inspiration" instead of the underlined part without making a change in meaning? Thanks.

I think it will change the meaning: "looking" implies a deliberate intention of finding; "turning" rather implies chance finding.

Thanks, Anglika.
