Did you know In Westeros there are tales of men with green skin? Thousands of years ago, when the first men crossed the land bridge to Westeros, they quickly settled the land, building farms and homesteads and in doing so they had cut down weiroods, which were the trees sacred to the Old Gods. An act which soon brought them into war with an elder race already present on the Continent, the Children of the Forest who worshiped the Old Gods. During this time it is said that the wars went on until the earth ran red with the blood of both races, but eventually a peace was bartered when the First Men and The Children forged a treaty known as the Pact amidst the weirwood groves on an island a sacred to the Old Gods and the Children known as the Gods Eye. It is said faces were carved into all the weirwoods within the Island So that the gods could bear witness to the historic agreement,and the sacred order of the green men was created and entrusted with guardianship over the island to tend to its sacred weirwoods groves and protect the Island. It is believed that the order of Green Men are still living within the isle to this day but the isle is so well protected few have ever successfully traveled there to see for themselves.
According to the Worldbook and Old Nan the tales of the green men claim they have green skin and in some versions they may also have antlers like a stag. Though most maesters believe the tales are a conflation of men who wore green clothing and horned headresses. In bran II of a Storm of Swords he hears a tale of a mystery knight with a weirwood device on his shield and wonder if he was a guardian of the Gods Eye
“the mystery knight was short of stature, and clad in ill-fitting armor made up of bits and pieces. The device upon his shield was a heart tree of the old gods, a white weirwood with a laughing red face." "Maybe he came from the Isle of Faces," said Bran. "Was he green?" In Old Nan's stories, the guardians had dark green skin and leaves instead of hair. Sometimes they had antlers too” A Storm of Swords - Bran II
