Pat Harris, Member

Pat Harris is a lifelong resident of the State of Alaska and Yukon Territory. A former kindergarten and junior high natural science teacher, she has more that 20 years of experience in natural resource assessment and restoration of impacted areas. She was co-principal investigator of several damage assessments and restoration projects related to the Exxon Valdez oil spill and was named Juneau Federal Employee of the Year in 1998 largely for that work. Currently she works as a researcher for the National Marine Fisheries Service and is focused on intertidal habitats, a job that allows her to continue to work with students as a mentor or in the field, which she dearly loves. Pat has been involved with Southeast Alaska Land Trust since 1996, and continues to supply energy and commitment to the Trust’s mission.
