Who, or what, is the Green Man, and why is this medieval image so present in our precarious modern times?
An encounter with a carving of the Green Man at an ancient church leads Nina Lyon on a search to track him down in all his various guises.

Meanwhile, in the woods, from an overgrown Welsh railway line to leafy London suburbia, strange things are happening . . .
