We welcome reports of sword fern die-off from anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. No governmental organization or NGO is collecting reports, so I figure that an informal and ad hoc log kept here may prove useful.
I will catalog and map them as (and if) they come in. Most helpful will be reports which include a photo, a location, and an estimate of dead fern count and density. For example: "12 dead ferns within a 20 x 20 foot area, in a second growth forest dominated by maple and cedar, near Suquamish Washington."
Please add your report as a comment to this blog post, or send mail to me. Thanks.
