About Green Spring Research

Green Spring Research Inc. provides senior archaeology, heritage, and environmental project support for major projects across British Columbia.

The work is carried out by senior archaeologist Pat McCashin, RPCA, who brings 20 years of experience on BC infrastructure and resource projects, including pipeline, LNG, mining, transportation, forestry, transmission/utility infrastructure, and First Nation-led project contexts.

His work has included archaeological assessment, monitoring, reporting, Heritage Conservation Act permitting, field strategy, crew leadership, Indigenous engagement, and coordination with multidisciplinary project teams.

GSR supports senior archaeological contracting, heritage-informed environmental project support, and applied documentation/workflow development for archaeology and environmental project work. The company’s focus is practical: helping project teams understand heritage and environmental considerations early, communicate clearly, and support responsible project delivery.

Pat is particularly interested in the intersection of heritage, environmental coordination, Indigenous engagement, and major-project delivery in British Columbia.
