Mars had an association with woods. His potential savagery as the God of War lied in in his obscure connections to the wild woodlands. Mars was also an agricultural deity, in a role as protector, which was liked to his warrior nature. A vow to and a sacrifice for Mars Silvanus (of the forest) were offered in the forest (in silva), which referred to either a wood or an uncultivated area where vegetation, if unchecked, could take over fields (wild growth could be a real threat as land clearing was a back breaking job).
