Oak Fern (2290)

Oak Fern, also called Western Oak Fern, is most likely found in areas that appear as understory or forest. A Fern and a member of the Dryopteridaceae Family, it grows by Kiosk 14.  Pilchuck Learning Center’s sponsored Western Washington State University SAM Project extinction possibility is slight; unlikely to be extinct soon as it is found in other areas of North America.  Little use reported although it does serve as a sign of water being nearby.  Perhaps not important today, but once for those who were thirsty it was.
