Naturalist bugged?

[SFF2000]

In a multiplayer game and used the naturalist for the first time twice. One in a hill tile and another in a flat tile. However, there is no bonus to that tile, nor did it graphically change anything about the tile. Is this a bug or am I just not seeing something?

When you use the naturalist, a thin green line is drawn around the four tiles, marking the national forest/park.
The bonus is to tourism, so it's hard to see other than on the tourism graph I think.
Btw: Do you mean to say that you bought two Naturalists? Because the unit goes away immediately when you use it.

Thank you and yes I meant to say purchased two units and used them on different tiles. I see the green line now and will have to look at the tourism screen.

Two things;
1) Thanks for the thread. This has been driving me bonkers.
2) Got to be honest here, I do not see the thin green line at all. I keep buying this unit and I just retire it. *insert help*; just not seeing it guys.

The thread is old, since then they added an observation tower that show up in one of the tiles. They also don't mention that the national park give 2 amenities to the city where it's built and 1 to the 4 closest cities, so it's a source of both tourism and amenities.

I only used it once or twice, a few months ago.
I do believe that, when the unit is active, the map automatically highlights the areas where it is possible to build a national park, like what happens with GP (specially scientists).

My main beef for Naturalists (and Resorts) is there needs to be better explanations for the tile requirements. I had to learn through trial and error about the Appeal requirements, and that all 4 tiles for a National Park need to be held by one city. The tooltips and ingame explanations are poor when it comes to that.

a) Observation tower; Where do you see that?
b) The green line shows up after u establish a national park

A close look at a national park, the tower is on the marble tile:

There's also a fence on top of the green line.
