Introduction
The American Fern Society is over 100 years
old. With over 900 members worldwide, it is one of the largest international
fern clubs in the world. It was established in 1893 with the objective
of fostering interest in ferns and fern allies. To this end it encourages
correspondence and the exchange of information and specimens between members
via its newsletter the Fiddlehead Forum. We have "Fern Forays" into
the woods every August. These field trips provide a wonderful way to learn
more about wild ferns from experts and also afford an occasion to meet
other people with a similar passion for ferns. This web page is designed
to expand on this exchange of information with amateurs and professionals
around the world. We hope that in this way many more people will be able
to explore these interesting plants and their allies.
