We have several wildlife specialists at MAD, including an Ohio Division of Wildlife Approved Herpetologist. If you’re looking for a specialized survey or just curious about reptiles and amphibian species on your property, we’d love to help you discover them! We have performed wildlife rescue and relocation efforts, Amphibian IBIs, habitat suitability surveys and presence/absence surveys for state listed reptiles and amphibians, and general inventories.
