Rowan is a ray of sunshine on dark days in the field! Not only an excellent worker, Rowan has a deep passion for the outdoors and all the beauty in it. Their knowledge in plants is exceptional and incredibly helpful when in the field. They are currently attending Lake Superior State University in the Fisheries and Wildlife program.
Rowan can often be found on their off hours going fishing, playing with their cat Cara, or tending to their numerous houseplants. Rowan's favorite part about working for Three Shores CISMA is probably being able to see all the wonderful places deep in the woods. They joined the team for our summer 2024 season and have stayed on with us for the Winter '25 season!

Rex enjoys hitting the gym, playing with his cat, and hanging out with his friends when he's not out surveying for HWA or pulling Garlic Mustard. He has been an excellent and hardworking member of the Three Shores CISMA team and we are glad to have him!
