Pat Nussey is the Atlantic region manager of conservation science and planning for the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC).

Pat grew up in rural New Brunswick, where he developed his keen appreciation for nature and the outdoors. After completing his undergraduate degree in zoology, he spent the next several years travelling the world and contributing to conservation projects in Australia and Guatemala.

His travels inspired him to continue working in conservation closer to home and to obtain a master's of environmental management. This ultimately led to joining NCC in September 2013. He has worked in the field of conservation for roughly 10 years.
