It was only as recently as 1939 that such carvings were first called after the 'Green Man' of folk lore (Jack-in-the-Green, Bury Man etc.) all of whom can be dated to origins within the last 300 years - and there are no clear 'pagan' or pre-christian precedents! So definitely a case of mistaken identity that has gotten out of hand rather. Me-thinks the time has come to place him firmly in the context of Pre-Reformation Medieval Catholicism which is his natural (and indeed only) habitat.
