What do 'untutored eye' refer in sentence. Isn't it something like that to an untutored eye path will not look bad?

The word "tutor" means "instructor" or "teacher." So the "untutored eye" means "the uninstructed eye" or "the untrained eye." In other words, we are referring to a person who has not received any kind of special instruction or teaching in terms of how to look at the forest.
