STEPHANIE MERRILL (she/her/elle)
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Stephanie has returned home to New Brunswick from Saskatchewan to join the Nature Trust team. With a background in water science and management and previous roles within the academic, non-profit, and charitable environmental sectors, she has built her career around facilitating knowledge mobilization between watershed groups, Indigenous and settler community organizations, academic scientists, and government agencies for better natural resource policy and decision-making.
Stephanie is excited by the opportunities to continue to protect our special natural spaces for all future generations of New Brunswickers and the wildlife that call this amazing place home.
She loves exploring new places through hiking and biking; road trip adventures; fitness and cooking; taking in live music; and is itching to get back to travelling and experiencing other ecosystems and cultures.
Favourite Nature Preserve: Stephanie’s favourite preserve so far is the Cape Enrage Nature Preserve, and she is excited to continue exploring, especially the special coastal areas and islands in the Bay of Fundy.
