Fern Watch

Help Save the Redwoods League expand FernWatch and track climate impacts in the coast redwood forest by observing Western sword fern (Polystichum munitum). This perennial fern is common in the world’s tallest forests and responds quickly to increases or decreases in rainfall. Through this project we hope to locate habitat most buffered from climatic extremes so that we can focus our conservation effort in forests resilient to climate change. less ↑
