I think the Green Pact was invented by people who had no idea what living in the forest is like. You need wood for the simplest of things, like the handles for your axes, or the shafts of your arrows, or for that matter, for your bows themselves. With no toilet paper, leaves are the wiping instrument of choice. Not to mention that hunter-gatherers need to eat plant-based foods in order to survive, hence the 'gatherer' part of the title. Very few societies manage to subsist totally on animal based foods. Those typically need the sea, or great herds of horses, cattle, or other such animals. Neither works for the deep woods of Valenwood.
So I tossed the Green Pact out the window in my writing.
