"Our organization has benefited greatly from working with MAD Scientist on various land stewardship projects.  Their expertise and experiences with habitat assessment and restoration have proven to be invaluable.  We have found very few businesses that offer similar environmental services with a hands-on, personal relationship."

"Mark’s workshop on creating vernal pools was right on target. The group left with the information they needed, the hands-on experience they wanted, and the enthusiasm we were hoping for – enthusiasm that’s bringing them back next month to get their hands dirty creating our very own new vernal pool. Thanks to Mark for all the hard work he put into the program!"

Their study provided a Baseline Ecological Survey and Wetland Determination Report and a Five-Year Plan to maintain and enhance the preserve that has invaluable information."

"With my thirty years experience, and knowing Mark’s company since it was established, I can say it's always refreshing working with them and learning something new. Mark's company leaves no stone unturned, and that experience is something I look forward to. The attention to detail and working with the environment that has been put in front of us, his company always delivers a good product. I would recommend the experience.

"MAD Scientist & Associates are a wonderful resource to the Westerville Community. They have educated Westerville students, staff, and parents on stream monitoring and water quality for years. I have also been to several community sponsored events where they offered their expertise. It is so exciting to watch children and adults having fun and learning while knee deep in a creek with a net. Working with MAD Scientist and Associates is the favorite activity of the year for many of my students!"
