TFMoran Supports the 2026 NH Envirothon!

At TFMoran, we are proud to support programs that inspire the next generation of environmental professionals. One of those programs is the NH Envirothon, an educational competition that gives high school students hands-on experience in environmental science, conservation, and natural resource management.

This year’s NH Envirothon was held at NHTI – Concord’s Community College, where students from across New Hampshire came together to test their knowledge in aquatics, forestry, soils, wildlife, and current environmental issues.

As part of the event, TFMoran Environmental Scientist, Olivia Boyer, spoke with students about future career opportunities in the environmental science field. Olivia shared insight into the many paths available within the industry, from environmental permitting and natural resource management to conservation and sustainability, helping students better understand how their interests can lead to rewarding careers.

About NH Envirothon:

Live Free and Conserve!

Since 1992, NH Envirothon has empowered students through real-world environmental education and teamwork-based competition. The program encourages participants to think critically about environmental challenges while developing leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

We are honored to support organizations like NH Envirothon that are helping shape the future of environmental stewardship in our communities.

Envirothon Competition

Each year, volunteer advisers work with teams of students, supported by local conservation districts, forestry associations, and various natural resource organizations. Students are tested on their knowledge in five key areas: aquatics, forestry, soils, wildlife, and current environmental issues. Through the program, participants gain critical teamwork, resource management, and ecological skills, while also exploring potential career paths in the environmental sector. Top-performing teams from each state and province advance to the National Conservation Foundation Envirothon (NCFE), where they compete for national recognition, scholarships, and prizes. The Envirothon Competition is a dynamic, cross-disciplinary experience that goes beyond science, integrating elements of history and cultural studies. The program is open to all high school students, and teams may be formed by schools, homeschool groups, agricultural associations, scout troops, or community service organizations. Teachers, home-school parents, scout leaders, and group mentors can help build teams, whether as part of a class, club, or after-school activity. To learn more about NH Envirothon, visit nhenvirothon.org. The NH Envirothon program is administered by The NH Association of Conservation Districts (NHACD), with additional support from The NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES), The Society of American Foresters – Granite State Division, The Society of Soil Scientists – Northern New England, The Fox Research and Demonstration Forest, and NHTI- Concord’s Community College

TFMoran Celebrates Cinco de Mayo with NH Housing!

Yesterday, TFMoran’s Bedford office had the pleasure of joining our neighbors at New Hampshire Housing for a Cinco de Mayo lunch celebration, featuring B’s Taco Truck.

Those who participated enjoyed a delicious, customizable meal with options including tacos, burritos, or burrito bowls, along with a variety of meats and fresh toppings. It was the perfect way to spend a beautiful, sunny spring day while enjoying great food outdoors with coworkers and neighbors.

Thank you again to our friends at New Hampshire Housing for the kind invitation and for bringing everyone together!

Cinco de Mayo is an important historical and cultural day in Mexican history! Here are a few quick facts about the holiday:

  • Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over the French army at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862!
  • The victory was significant because a smaller, under-equipped Mexican army defeated a much larger French force.
  • The holiday is most widely celebrated in the Mexican state of Puebla, where the battle took place.
  • Cinco de Mayo is often celebrated in the United States as a way to recognize and celebrate Mexican culture and heritage!
  • It is not Mexico’s Independence Day, that is celebrated on September 16.
