Jennifer McKillop
Regional Vice President, Saskatchewan
Nature Conservancy of Canada
Jennifer Mckillop's first introduction to the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) was when she visited our Old Man on His Back Prairie and Heritage Conservation Area in southwest Saskatchewan. She took her then five-year-old son there and fell in love with the property. She looked at the interpreter who got to spend the summer there and thought, “How does someone get a gig like this?”
Fast-forward several years, and Jennifer joined NCC to oversee all conservation operations in Saskatchewan. She previously worked as the executive director of the Landscape Stewardship Branch of the Government of Saskatchewan. She has a bachelor's degree in native studies and a master's degree in environmental design. Her career has focused on the human-environmental interface, with specific interest in First Nations consultation, public engagement and landscape planning.
