Sometimes it is nice to find a similar phrase and copy it. Ovid refers to Diana as dea silvarum. So copy this and translate your phrase as vir silvarum. I think you would find it more natural to use the genitive plural silvarum, rather than the genitive simgular silvae. As far as prepositions, use ex silva if you want to imply motion.
Horace refers to woodsmen (modern lumberjacks) as homines silvestres.
