Ulster Wildlife is a wildlife trust and a registered charity[1] covering Northern Ireland. It was formed in 1978. Ulster Wildlife is one of 46 trusts working primarily by county or region to make the UK a better place for people and wildlife. The Wildlife Trusts collectively have over 800,000 members,[2] and are the largest UK voluntary organisation dedicated to conserving the full range of the UK's habitats and species, whether they be in the countryside, in cities or at sea. In total they manage over 2,300 nature reserves that cover more than 91,000 hectares across the whole of the UK, the Isle of Man and Alderney.
Ulster Wildlife (formerly called Ulster Wildlife Trust) manages their network of reserves across Northern Ireland.

Ulster Wildlife conservation activities are delivered under the twin strategic strands of Living Seas and Living Landscapes.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
