The Fern Gazette Editorial Board

The purpose of the Editorial Board is to widen the range of disciplines within pteridology that are covered in the Fern Gazette, and to widen its geographic focus. The role of Editorial Board members is two-fold, first to help in reviewing manuscripts in their particular area of expertise and, second to solicit papers for publication among their local contacts. Members of the Editorial Board are asked to serve for three years initially.
