Our high mountain sources of water are key to Oregon’s lush environment. One of the most stunning native plants, the Sword Fern, glows a fluorescent green near the creeks and rivers and forests of Oregon. Young fiddleheads of the sword fern provide an early spring source of food for many animals, including the mountain beavers, when they just awaken from their winter hibernation. Sword Ferns are a painkiller in the native traditional medical toolkit. And they are gender fluid: they can be self-fertilizing as hermaphrodites, and they can take either gender in the cross-fertilization process.
