Verderer of the New Forest Needed

 Advert received from Natural England.

Are you passionate about the New Forest and interested in maintaining its traditions and securing its special environment? If so, this position could be for you. Our current Verderer is about to finish his maximum stay of 10 years and so we are looking for a suitable replacement.
The Verderers oversee grazing and regulate development on the Open Forest. They derive their offices, powers and responsibilities from the New Forest Act of 1877 and subsequent legislation.
Applications for this unpaid appointment will need to have an awareness of Natural England and the New Forest in order to represent us and make well informed recommendations in the Verderers’ Court. It is also desirable for you to have had experience in one of either; community engagement, protected landscapes or designated habitats/species.

The role equates to volunteering for about 3 days a month. To discuss this position or ask for an application form please contact Rachel Green on 03000604860 or email Rachel.green@naturalengland.org.uk

 

The deadline for applications is Friday 26th March, and interviews will take place in Lyndhurst on 19th or 20th April, 2010.
