at one stage we were down to one small frond at the Ainslie quarry and things weren't looking to good for this locally rare fern. Great that it seems to be making a come back.

Thanks Rebecca - from photos and given locations it looks like this fern occurs at 4 different locations (small clumps) at the quarry - is this right?

That’s correct, there’s new plants popping up. Very special!
