Maddison Consultants Limited (Maddison Consultants) provides environmental services for development projects with consideration to stewardship for future generations. Based on Bowen Island, we offer a wide range of environmental services, specializing in assisting you in navigating the land development process on Bowen Island and throughout the lower mainland area.

Maddison Consultants was founded in 1997 as a father and daughter enterprise by David Maddison and Micaele Florendo to provide responsive, quality consulting in the areas of forestry and environmental resources. After 45 years of working in the forestry sector, David Maddison retired in 2015.

Micaele Florendo is qualified to provide Riparian Area Protection Regulation (RAPR) assessments, restoration plans, sensitive species assessments, invasive species management plans, and environmental permitting to support development projects within forests, marine shorelines, riparian areas, and other sensitive habitat types.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Micaele Florendo at Maddison Consultants on multiple projects on Bowen Island.  I have found her work to be very detailed and thorough while effectively navigating difficult environmental challenges on multiple sites.  She’s been very responsive to come and oversee certain critical stages of the project as well as provide quick solutions to issues as they arise throughout the project cycle. I wouldn’t hesitate in engaging Micaele for our next project and would encourage others to do the same.” Galen Evans, President, White Hart Homes Ltd.

“Micaele is a pleasure to work with. I have worked with her as a colleague (as an architect engaging her to work on projects) and as a client on my own property. I have found her to be professional, efficient, communicative, and reliable. She is great at working collaboratively with the consultant team and helping to problem solve – even on tricky sites.” Robyn Fenton, Architect and private property owner.

“I have worked with Micaele on a variety of projects over the past three years. While each project has presented it’s own challenges, Micaele has been adept at working towards solutions; her portion of the project is generally on budget, and completed in a timely manner. I appreciate her responsiveness and have recommended her for similar projects.” Geordie Anderson, Director of Construction, Ajia Canadian Building Systems, Inc.

“Micaele made it possible to navigate the complex web of environmental regulations of various government agencies. Her expertise was invaluable to the project and she was patient and cheerful to work with. You are in good hands with her.” Juan Ramos, private property owner.

“Working with Micaele on bird nest monitoring has been a great experience. Her expertise, thoroughness, and professionalism makes working with her easy and efficient. I appreciate that she always asks the right questions.” Robyn Worcester, Natural Resource Management Specialist, Planning & Resource Management, Regional Parks, Metro Vancouver.

“As a local Bowen Island realtor I have dealt with Micaele on many occasions where I had clients who needed to consult her with regards to the sale or a purchase of a property. Micaele is super friendly, very approachable, and is always available to discuss potential environmental issues. She is extremely knowledgeable about Bowen Island’s environment, nature, watersheds, and more. My clients have on multiple occasions expressed to me how lovely it is to work with Micaele. I feel the same and highly recommend her – Bowen Island is lucky to have her!” Mary Lynn Machado, Realtor.
