The Stivardr is an occasional newsletter of the specialist group on privately protected areas and nature stewardship. We take our name from an Old Norse word meaning keeper of the house, including sheep and cattle. Stivardr came into Old English in about the 11th century as stiward, and eventually steward. Privately protected areas are a form of stewardship of an eco(=house)logical area.
