Species Finding Field Trip: Grapeferns

With all the biodiversity in the greater Sax-Zim Bog ecosystem, seeing the uncommon, rare, or difficult-to-find species can require special, targeted effort. This will be the fourth of this year’s new, species-focused field trip series. This field trip will focus on finding one of the coolest groups of ferns: Grapeferns! These beautiful little ferns are somewhat sensitive, but, oddly, they prefer disturbed habitats. This field trip will explore the species diversity of Grapeferns in the Sax-Zim Bog. Attendees can expect some hiking, and lots of time on their hands and knees searching for these small and delicate ferns.
