Collection of documents relating to the Killarney Fern Project.

The Killarney Fern [Trichomanes speciosum Willd.]

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
