Our Team:

Nick Page (BLA, MSc, RPBio)

Nick Page is a biologist who works on the assessment, restoration, and management of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in coastal BC. He has a bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture (UBC, 1993) and completed a master's of environmental studies at the Institute for Resources, Environment, and Sustainability at UBC in 2003. His thesis focused on local- and regional-scale patterns of exotic plant species in sand beach plant communities on Vancouver Island. His recent work has focused on biological monitoring, watershed assessment and stormwater planning, urban environmental design, and plant community ecology in Metro Vancouver. His stormwater work includes stream assessment, water quality monitoring, watershed-scale land cover assessment, and habitat restoration planning. He is also involved in the recovery of species at risk and sits on recovery teams for pink sand-verbena, streaked horned lark, and is a technical advisor to the provincial invertebrate recovery team. He works on rare butterflies and moths, and is currently involved in initiating the Coastal Sand Ecosystems Recovery Team. He started Raincoast Applied Ecology in 2003.

Patrick Lilley (BSc, MSc, RPBio)

Patrick Lilley is an ecologist interested in landscape-level solutions for biodiversity conservation and environmental management in BC. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Sciences (UBC, 2000) and completed his Master’s degree in plant ecology and conservation biology at the Biodiversity Research Centre at UBC in 2008. His thesis investigated the factors influencing the distribution of native and exotic plant species in Garry oak meadow habitats on southeastern Vancouver Island. He has expertise in watershed assessment and monitoring, stormwater planning, biodiversity conservation planning, species at risk recovery, plant ecology, invasive plant management, and habitat restoration. His field experience includes benthic invertebrate sampling, water and sediment quality monitoring, vegetation and wildlife surveys (including rare species), and habitat mapping, as well as GIS experience working on diverse spatial datasets. Patrick is co-chair of the Science & Research Committee of the Greater Vancouver Invasive Plant Council and a member of the Conservation Science Advisory Committee for A Rocha Canada. Patrick joined Raincoast Applied Ecology in 2008.
