Nikki Heck joins WEST as a Wildlife Biologist/Avian Power line Specialist

WEST is excited to welcome Nikki Heck to our team in the Calgary office. Nikki is an accomplished environmental scientist and Professional Biologist with over 15 years of experience working primarily in Canada’s electric utility sector. She has a master’s degree from the faculty of Environmental Design at the University of Calgary where for her thesis, she developed the first ever GIS-based avian collision risk model which was used to predict collision risk with transmission lines at a landscape scale. She then went on to champion and implement Canada’s first Avian Protection Plan (APP) which included several risk assessments and standard operating procedures to prevent electrocutions with energized facilities, collisions with overhead lines, and effectively protect nests from utility operations. In addition to working part-time with WEST, Nikki continues in hold of her position as an Environmental Advisor with AltaLink, Alberta’s primary transmission service provider.

Nikki can be reached at nheck@west-ulc.ca.
