Green Man festival owners accused of endangering protected habitats

Welsh government under pressure over 4.25m purchase of land for Green Man to use as base for expansion

Green Man festival, which rises up each August from the parkland and rolling countryside of the Usk Valley in mid-Wales, is facing accusations that its plans for a sustainable future will threaten some of the most vulnerable and protected wildlife and habitats in the country.

The Welsh government is under pressure over its decision to spend 4.25m of public money to buy a farm in Talybont-on-Usk for the Green Man owners to use as a base for its expansion.
