Green Man Projects is a multi-disciplinary enterprise based in Southern Britain whose work portfolio includes:
• The Green Man Project
• Lady of the Waters
• The SIRIUS Project
• Land of Britain
• The Nautilus Project

These sentiments provide something of a context for the enterprise:-
"The British way of life is a compound of ingredients derived from the cultures of many races and many peoples…the debt which the present owes to the past is immense and almost incalculable".
(From "The British Heritage" 1948)
The Green Man Project examines the role of  'Green Heritage'– wildlife, landscape, farming and forestry, parks and gardens, regional food and drink etc, - together with festivals and other events linked to these, in the development of local distinctiveness and identity.
Lady of the Waters is concerned with the well-being of the freshwater environment, and habitats connected to lakes, ponds, rivers and streams, together with the biodiversity and health of life which depends upon these. Such natural life includes humans “Taking the Waters”, whether through outdoor swimming, immersion in therapeutic baths and spas, or simply drinking fresh water.
The SIRIUS Project focusses on the importance of Sustainable Rural Industry and Skills in maintaining our Green Heritage and developing this in the future, with an emphasis on small and medium-sized farm enterprise, together with traditional and modern craft-based industry.
Land of Britain considers the notion of a 'Spirit of the Land' in the literature and wider culture of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, including its manifestation in local religious celebrations, folklore and legend, as well as in the development of Earth-based and Green Spirituality.

The Nautilus Project is the latest addition to the Green Man portfolio and will explore the environment of coastal Britain, together with the wider heritage of the British Maritime Diaspora. This project will also promote understanding of the role of the seas and oceans in maintaining global eco-systems, as well as the need for humans to live in harmony with these.
In addition to the above, Green Man Projects is part of a "Troika" of enterprises which also includes EPONA www.epona-land.co.uk and Crookbarrow  www.crookbarrow.com
Green Man Projects provides a range of project services and we are always happy to discuss possible new commissions.
