Founded in 1891 the BPS continues as a focus for fern enthusiasts.
It provides a wide range of information about ferns through the
medium of its publications and other literature. It also organises
formal talks, informal discussions, field meetings, garden visits,
plant exchanges, and a spore exchange scheme. The Society's
journals, the Fern Gazette, Pteridologist and Bulletin, are
published annually. The Fern Gazette publishes matters chiefly of
specialist interest on international pteridology, the
Pteridologist, topics of more general appeal, and the Bulletin,
Society business and meetings reports. Membership is open to all
interested in ferns and fern-allies.
