Five Points Trail Guide Sign 11 - Ferns

This lowland area is full of different species of ferns. Ferns require rich, moist forest floors and are indicative of rich woodlands. Among these ferns are Christmas Ferns which are darker green with “pinnules” or sub-leaflets that resemble Christmas stockings, and sensitive fern that has more rounded and lobed “pinna” or leaflets like an oak leaf.
