The Green Man Festival in Greenbelt started in May of 2005 and was originally planned to be just a small to medium picnic to celebrate spring and the environment. The festival has been held on Mother's Day Weekend for the last five years. The Green Man, the spirit of nature and earth, is a concept that can be found in nearly every culture on earth. He is the symbol of nature's rebirth in the spring, he is the guardian of the forests, he is the protector of the wild places. The foliate head and the Green Man are traditional forms that represent irrepressible life, with the forces of nature merging with humanity. In Europe, foliate heads are carved into the very structural bones supporting the cathedrals. Below are some reference links to the deep and abiding history of the Green Man that is the heritage of all humanity.
