Welcome to Forest Ferns
Our new site is currently under construction!
A lot of the content from the old site as well as new pages are already available. We already have 10 species of tree fern covered in the fern files section, with more on the way shortly. A brand new photo gallery with stunning images of tree ferns from around the world and an updated list of fern societies to put you in touch with fern lovers local to you.
Enjoy the site and keep checking to see what has been added since your last visit.
