You're probably thinking about Pan, but he was only associated with pastures (he was also the god of shepherds and the fertility of livestock). In Greco-Roman mythology, the trees and woods were protected by the Dryades, nymphs whose spirits were closely connected to specific trees - to the point that killing a tree could mean killing the dryad. It was a punishable offense (by men and gods) to chop down a tree without propitiating the dryads first.

The roman god of nature?

Technically, the Roman goddess Diana was the goddess of nature, as well as of fertility childbirth, wildwood, moon, forests, animals, mountains, woods, women, and the moon. She was variously known as Mother of Creatures, the Huntress or Destroyer, and Goddess of the hunt. However, other gods/goddesses often had specific realms of nature that they governed. For example(s), Ceres was goddess of corn and grain crops; Jupiter was the god of the sky, lightning, and thunder; Neptune was god of the sea and its creatures; and Mars (far from being only "god of war") was also god of spring, growth in nature, and agriculture.
