Supervisor in W. Shakespeare's forest (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

warden

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'supervisor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'w shakespeare's forest' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'w' is within the answer.
'forest' could be 'arden' (forest in Shakespeare's As You Like It) and 'arden' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for warden that I've seen before include "Warned about supervisory official" , "Person in charge (of traffic etc)" , "Supervisor; governor" , "Custodian" , "The - (Trollope)" .)
