The maidenhair fern (Adiantum pedatum) is a graceful plant with a fan-like pattern, and is unique among Ontario native ferns. Used for medicinal purposes, they contain chemicals that help reduce swelling (inflammation). Maidenhair fern has been traditionally used for coughs, menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), wound healing, and other ailments. This maiden hair fern cluster is currently protected by the Otonabee Regional Conservation authority in the Oatbox Forest which is apart of the Otonabee Conservation Agreement Forest in the Kawarthas.
