Woodmen

Woodmen were groups of Northmen who had established themselves in vast forested places of Middle-earth, primarily Greenwood.
==History==
A people of Northmen distantly related to the Edain inhabited the western portion of Mirkwood forestThe Atlas of Middle-earth, Regional Maps, "Wilderland" by the Third Age, along with a mysterious race of men called the Beornings, who were skin-changers. The Woodmen and the Beornings probably had close ties since, they lived near to each other amid many dangers of those woods. The Woodmen also probably had alliance with the Silvan Elves of Mirkwood.
In TA 2941, the Orcs of the Misty Mountains conspired with a group of Wargs to wipe out the Woodsman; but the raid never happened, because Thorin and Company came to their meeting-place by chance, and were interrupted. 
After the War of the Ring and the cleansing of Mirkwood, the Woodmen and Beornings were given a large portion of the forest between Thranduil's kingdom and Lothlórien to dwell in.
==In adaptations==
In The Lord of the Rings Online, the Woodmen live in the Vales on both sides of the river Anduin. They are self-reliant and very isolated people, with even the nearby villages having very little contact with one another. Woodmen settlements include the larger town of Hultvís, the smaller villages of Blómgard and Arhaim, the recently-destroyed Waldfast and the long-abandoned Audaghaim. During the closing weeks of the War of the Ring the Woodmen were attacked by the Orcs and Wargs of the Misty Mountains, but a united force of Beornings and Woodmen pushed back and eventually defeated them at the Battle of the Old Ford.
The Woodmen are deeply superstitious due to the long years of living under the darkness of Mirkwood, but many of their folk tales bear a seed of truth in them. For example, the real events of Gollum stealing Woodmen babies have been attributed to "Úbil the Snatcher", who over the years have transformed into the hunger-crazed "Old Mad Ubb" used to scare the children.
