Bracken Fern (Pteridium aquilinum)-002
Extensive areas of the Preserve are covered with this fern which tends to overwhelm other plants. In reading about this I found out that many people consider it a noxious weed. In the Highlands of England it became so invasive that the government installed special water filters to prevent its spread. I can see why.
