Lily Binney-Savard

Environmental professional with experience in environmental research, fieldwork, and conservation initiatives. Forest Ecosystem Classification certified, with hands on experience in vegetation surveys, forest assessments, ecological data collection, and analysis. I am passionate about environmental conservation and eager to continue contributing to research and sustainable resource management.

I am currently completing a Master of Arts in Geography at Saint Mary’s University, where my thesis research focuses on the ecological structure of old-growth eastern hemlock and red spruce forests in Nova Scotia. I also hold a Bachelor of Environmental Studies with a minor in Geography, which has given me a strong background in biogeography, environmental policy, environmental management, and conservation.
