Nature with the 12-24mm? 
For nature you need a long focal length, such as 300mm. The Tamron will be good for landscapes and where you need a wide field of view. I think maybe you have got a little confused over focal lengths and what works best with what sort of photography.

The Tokina is an excellent ultra wide for a crop body like the 40D and would be a useful addition to any kit lens you may have--just not ideal for portrait or nature.For nature you are probably going to need a lens that will at least go to 300mm.If budget is tight the Canon 50mm f/1.8 can generally be picked up for about £70 and is a cracking lens for the money.

What type of nature are you looking at?
The 12-24 is a a fine heap of glass for the wider view, so landscape type nature is what you get that lens for.

I have used the tokina 12-24 for a couple of years now - and I have no desire to change it for anything else. I think that shows it is worth keeping
