Paul Nichol is the founder and Principal of Ecosystems.  He has been providing information management and environmental consulting services under the name Ecosystems since 1996. Ecosystems operates out of offices located in Lindsay, Ontario Canada.

Ecosystems has extensive and diverse experience providing cost effective, customized information management solutions to private industry, NGO’s and to the federal and provincial governments. Ecosystems specializes in custom relational database application development services, from user requirements/business analysis through implementation, documentation and staff training.   While one time projects are undertaken, client needs commonly grow and/or change over time and Paul enjoys long term trusted relationships with many of his clients.

Paul is a graduate of the University of Guelph with a B.Sc. in Fisheries Biology and brings to Ecosystems over 23 years of varied experience in the areas of ecosystems/resource management. Paul has developed and taught aquaculture, biology and computer courses at Sir Sandford Fleming College School of Natural Resources. In his capacity as Biologist and Resource Technician for the Kawartha Lakes Management Area (OMNR), Paul gained an intimate familiarity with the natural resources and related issues in the local landscape. Of key importance is Paul’s understanding of the accuracy and limitations of the available data describing resource features, which are used to constrain or forward permit and planning applications.

Paul is a former board member of the Kawartha Fisheries Association as well as the City of Kawartha Lakes Environmental Advisory Committee where he chaired the Natural Heritage System mapping subcommittee for 3 years.

In 2006 Paul invited Snider's Ecological Services and D A Bell Environmental Services to join forces in order to meet the growing demand for environmental work and to allow him to focus more effort on the burgeoning information management project work.
