Lisa Rowell

Co-Founder

With 25 years of experience as an environmental "detective," Lisa Rowell has dedicated her career to identifying and designing remediation protocols for harmful contaminants in homes and workplaces. Beyond her technical certifications as an Industrial Hygienist, Licensed Mold Assessor and Certified Indoor Environmental Consultant, Lisa's true calling extends to the natural world.

For over 15 years, she has been performing wildlife rescue, providing a lifeline to injured and orphaned animals. Her work as a rehabilitator mirrors her environmental consulting: both requiring meticulous clinical diagnostic skills, whether she is testing for pathogens in the field or assessing an animal in need of medical care. Lisa's unique expertise offers her clients and community a compassionate, science-driven approach to living safely alongside nature.

As Director of the Wildlife Rescue Coalition of Northeast Florida, Lisa has recognized a growing need for more humane wildlife trapping methods, along with increased demand for relocation services driven by expanding development. In response, she set out to provide the community with trapping and relocation services that prioritize a more compassionate and respectful approach to handling and relocating native wildlife.
