Katie Bullick, B.Sc. Env., P.Biol., AWP.
Owner
Senior Environmental Scientist / Senior Wetland Specialist
Authenticating Wetland Professional
Katie has a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Science. She has a major in Environmental Geography with emphasis on Biotic Systems and Landscape Ecology. Katie is a Professional Biologist and Authenticating Wetland Professional with 17 years of professional consulting experience. Katie is well versed in conducting biophysical inventories (i.e., wetlands, vegetation, wildlife, water quality) as well as evaluating potential impacts of projects on biophysical resources.
In addition, Katie has experience developing biophysical inventory methods and protocols, management and monitoring programs for natural and constructed waterbodies, designing concepts for constructed wetlands, creek re-alignments and bank stablization efforts, prescribing native vegetation for rehabilitation projects and participating on multidisciplinary teams to develop policies centered around riparian and wetland conservation and management.
Kaney Hilderman, B.Sc., B.I.T.
Intermediate Biologist
Kaney is an Intermediate Biologist. She is a Biologist in Training with the Alberta Society of Professional Biologist in good standing since 2020. In her 5 years of consulting experience, Kaney has been involved in projects for a variety of clients in the oil and gas, aggregates and cement, residential, and commercial sectors, as well as provincial and municipal government and local landowners.
Kaney has primarily been involved in oil and gas wellsite reclamation activities, which includes conducting Detailed Site Assessments as well as Phase 1 and 2 Environmental Site Assessments, for the purposes of compiling Reclamation Certificate Applications for Alberta Energy Regulator. She also has experience with remedial excavations, contamination identification, and groundwater monitoring.
Her field experience includes vegetation assessments (identification, percent cover, transect surveys, plant health) for native grassland, forests, peatlands, and agriculture, soil assessments (classification, borehole and test pit logging, field screening and sampling), water quality monitoring and sampling, wellsite reclamation, riparian area assessment and restoration, and invasive plant control. In addition, Kaney has ample experience in leading and managing field programs, training junior staff, supervising subcontractors, and maintaining relationships with clients, landowners, and other stakeholders.
Eric Rodvang, B.Sc. Env.
Junior Environmental Scientist
Eric is a Junior Environmental Scientist with Pintail. Eric has 2 years of environmental consulting experience working on a variety of projects from oil and gas pipelines and wellsites to transportation projects for municipalities and the Government of Alberta.
Eric has experience in many biophysical surveys including wetlands (classification, delineation, and functional assessments), vegetation (percent cover, transect surveys and rare plants), and aquatics (fish processing, stream assessments, water quality monitoring, and electorfishing).
In his spare time Eric can be found helping out on the family farm, snowboarding, and hiking.
George Ward, B.Sc., P.Biol.
Senior Aquatic Specialist
George is an Aquatic Biologist and Fisheries Specialist. George is also a Professional Biologist with the Alberta Society of Professional Biologists in good standing since 2018 and is a Qualified Aquatic Environmental Specialist. With 10 years of professional consulting experience. George has had the opportunity to work with a variety of clients from natural resource development, large and small infrastructure, oil and gas, transmission, municipalities, land developers, and local landowners.
George is versed in conducting biophysical inventories (i.e., biophysical impact assessments, aquatic environment assessments) as well as evaluating potential impacts of development on biophysical resources. Specifically, George has inventoried biophysical resources such as aquatics (fish and fish habitat, aquatic species at risk populations, water quality sampling, limnology, benthic invertebrates, watercourse velocity and discharge monitoring), vegetation (percent cover, transect surveys, rare plants), wildlife (migratory bird, amphibians). He has experience developing biophysical inventory methods and protocols, management, and monitoring programs for natural and constructed waterbodies, designing concepts for creek re-alignments and bank stabilization efforts.
Sabrina Jackson, B.Sc. Env. & Biol.
Junior Biologist
Sabrina is a Junior Biologist that has joined the team as of April 2024. Sabrina has a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Science and Biology. She has over four years of field experience, focusing on biomonitoring major forest disturbances to support research projects in forest entomology, pathology and weathers effects. During this time, she assisted with data collection on forest communities (National Forest Inventory surveys, aerial surveys, soil sampling, vegetation identification, percent cover).
Sabrina has experience preparing and implementing plans for ecological restoration projects on tallgrass prairie and oak savanna habitat (planting native species, removing invasive species, wildlife monitoring surveys). In addition, she has experience carrying out wetland projects to improve riparian habitat and restore hydrological function (bank stabilization efforts, stream restoration, water quality sampling, photomonitoring). Sabrina is proficient with inventorying, interpreting data, technical report writing and implementing plans to support research.
