Verderer (New Forest)

In the New Forest a verderer is an unpaid officer whose duty is to regulate and protect the interests of the New Forest commoners, and to preserve the natural beauty and good traditional character of the Forest.[1] There are ten verderers, together constituting the Court of Verderers (or Court of Swainmote).[2]
