Luxuriant ferns come into their glory in spring, as they unfurl tightly coiled fiddleheads to claim space in the understory of forests and wetlands. Spotlighting these ancient spore-bearing plants, we will learn some common ferns found in Massachusetts (and where to look for them). Marvel at the lesser-known parts of their lifecycle and consider their role in the ecosystem as pollinator supporters and habitat providers.
