British Pteridological Society
The British Pteridological Society (BPS) is the best resource for fern enthusiasts that Britain has. Founded in 1891 the society celebrated its centenary in 1991, with a series of special events and publications. The society provides a range of information about ferns through the medium of its publication and available literature. It also organises formal talks, informal discussions, field meetings, garden visits, plant and spore exchange schemes and fern book sales.
The society has wide membership which includes gardeners, nurserymen and botanists, both amateur and professional. The society's journals the Fern Gazette, Pteridologist and Bulletin are published annually. The Fern Gazette publishes matter chiefly of specialist interest on international pteridology, the Pteridologist topics of more general appeal, and the Bulletin Society business and meeting reports.
