VERDERERS ASK YOU NOT TO PUT WATER OUT FOR ANIMALS
The Verderers’ Court has issued a notice urging people NOT to put out water in buckets or other receptacles for the animals. Despite the best of intentions this is counter-productive. There are plenty of places in the Forest where animals can get water including large water troughs which are mains fed and the animals know where they are.
