The Guernsey Rare Fern Project Summary

Conservation of Guernsey’s rare ferns. The investigation of Guernsey’s rare ferns, a collaboration between La Société Guernesiaise and the Board of Administration by staff at Natural History Museum (NHM), London. Funded by the Sun Alliance. Five botanists from NHM: Mary Gibby, Clive Jermy, Alison Paul, Fred Rumsey, and Johannes Vogel, carried out field work in Guernsey in April 1996 in collaboration with local botanists: Nigel Jee, Patience Ryan, Rachel D. Rabey, and Marcia Marsden. Investigated the distribution of Guernsey’s rare ferns and their conservation status based on field and laboratory work.

Summary of Killarney Fern Project

Natural History Museum has been involved in research pertaining to Trichomanes speciosum for years. In 1992, Mary Gibby was awarded a special grant from the Museum to develop molecular methos to study genetic variation within the species. Followed by a three-year award to study genetic variation within the species (1992-1995), followed by three-year award from the Natural Environment Research Council

(NERC)to Mary Gibby and John Barrett, Dept. Of Genetics, University of Cambridge to extend this work into a project on “genetic population structure and dynamics of the sporophyte and gametophye populations of the endangered fern Trichomanes speciosum Willd.”

The Naturally History Museum and English Nature are joint Lead Partners on the Biodiversity Action Plan Species Action Plan or Trichomanes speciosum, the Killarney Fern. It was their responsibility to develop a work programme, based on the Species Action Plan and to agree on it with the Countryside outlies for Wales a a contact point

(from the ‘Introduction’ in the document “workshop on Trichomanes speciosum”)
