TFMoran Team Advances Water-Smart Landscaping at UNH Workshop

March 31, 2026 | 0 Comments | , , , , , , ,

Last week, members of the TFMoran team participated in the Landscaping for Water Quality professional training held March 25–26, 2026 at the Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and the Hugh Gregg Coastal Conservation Center, hosted by the University of New Hampshire.

Our Landscape Architect, Mike Krzeminski, PLA, and Assistant Land Planner and Landscape Designer, Sophie Haddock, attended the two-day interactive workshop focused on designing and maintaining landscapes that are both visually appealing and environmentally responsible. Hosted by University of New Hampshire Extension in partnership with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, UNH Sea Grant, and NH LAKES, the program brought together landscape professionals, conservation leaders, and municipal staff committed to protecting New Hampshire’s water resources.

Participants explored practical strategies for improving ecological function in landscapes while reducing stormwater runoff and protecting water quality in nearby lakes, rivers, streams, and coastal waters. Through hands-on exercises and site exploration at the Great Bay Reserve, attendees applied these principles by designing landscape solutions that enhance natural systems and support long-term watershed health.

Adding to the TFMoran presence at the workshop, Jay Aube, Director of Environmental Permitting, contributed to the program as a presenter, leading a discussion on the New Hampshire Shoreland Water Quality Protection Act and its role in protecting the state’s lakes and waterways.

Programs like Landscaping for Water Quality help professionals stay informed on best practices and evolving environmental regulations while earning continuing education credits for industry certifications. TFMoran is proud to support ongoing professional development that strengthens our ability to design sustainable landscapes and protect New Hampshire’s natural resources.

On Saturday, March 14, 2026, Joppa Hill Educational Farm hosted its annual Snowball Gala at the Bedford Village Inn.

The Snowball Gala is Joppa Hill Educational Farm’s most important annual fundraiser, helping sustain the Farm’s educational programs and long-term growth. Located on more than 35 acres in Bedford, New Hampshire, the nonprofit operates as a working farm that welcomes the public to connect with agriculture, nature, and hands-on learning experiences. Through scholarships and financial assistance, Joppa Hill ensures that youth from all backgrounds have the opportunity to participate in its programs and discover the value of agriculture and environmental stewardship.

Funds raised during this year’s Gala will directly support essential animal care, new fencing to protect the Farm’s animals, and the creation of an enhanced outdoor play space designed for the community to enjoy. These improvements will help ensure the Farm remains a safe, engaging, and welcoming destination for families and visitors alike.

Looking ahead, Joppa Hill Educational Farm continues its mission to reimagine the Farm as a vibrant community hub—a place where children and adults can gather, explore, learn, and connect with the land and animals that make the Farm so special.

March 10, 2025 | 0 Comments | , , ,

At TFMoran, we are proud to be actively engaged in our local community, supporting a variety of youth organizations. This includes sponsoring NH Envirothon, an inspiring educational program that provides students with hands-on experience in environmental sciences and natural resource management.

About NH Envirothon:

Live Free and Conserve!

Since 1992, NH Envirothon has been empowering teens to make informed decisions about the environment and natural resources. Through real-world, hands-on learning experiences, the program sparks curiosity and passion for environmental issues. Many students leave the Envirothon program motivated to pursue careers in environmental studies, environmental law, natural sciences, and resource management.

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.

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 is deeply involved in our local community and we support many youth organizations. Recently, TFMoran made a donation to support NH Envirothon, an educational program for students to gain hands-on experience in the field of environmental sciences and natural resources.

More about NH Envirothon:

Live Free and Conserve!

Since 1992, NH Envirothon has inspired teens to make responsible environmental and natural resource decisions through real-world, hands-on educational experiences. Many students step away from the Envirothon experience excited about learning and motivated to pursue careers in environmental studies, environmental law, natural sciences, and natural resource management.

Envirothon Competition

Each year, volunteer advisers coach teams with assistance from local conservation districts, forestry associations and participating natural resource agencies and organizations. Students are tested on their knowledge in five topic areas: aquatics, forestry, soils, wildlife and current environmental issues. Through the program, students develop an understanding of effective teamwork, resource management and ecology. At the same time, they gain valuable exposure to a range of disciplines while exploring possible career paths. Winning teams from each participating state and province advance to the National Conservation Foundation Envirothon (NCFE) to compete for national recognition, scholarships and prizes. 

The Envirothon Competition is an amazing cross-curriculum adventure, impacting not only the sciences but history and cultural studies as well. Teachers, home-school parents, scout and group leaders can build a team. Some educators involve a whole class, others advise teams of five members as a club or after school activity. Open to all high school students, a team may be sponsored by a school, home-school group, agricultural association, scout, or community service group.

TFMoran’s Land Surveying Equipment is Upgraded with the Latest Technology

May 26, 2023 | 0 Comments | , , , ,

TFM Land Surveyors utilize the most advanced field and office surveying technologies to provide cost-effective, efficient, and timely results. With the advanced technology of the Leica GS 16 and GS18, our surveyors obtain detailed information more efficiently. The Leica GS 16 and 18 systems provide the fastest GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and RTK (Real-Time Kinematics), meaning data can be collected in the field while being received in the office. The GNSS provides positioning and navigation, by collecting data from satellites.

Our Bedford office team had a beautiful day for training with the new equipment by a representative of Leica Geosystems back in March.

Thanks to NH Bureau of EMS, Bill Wood for the AED demonstration

May 15, 2018 | 0 Comments | , ,

TFMoran recently installed an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)* in our Bedford office. The AED life-saving medical device was purchased through the State of New Hampshire’s “AED Direct Purchase Opportunity”. On May 14th Bill Wood, Preparedness Coordinator for the NH Bureau of Emergency Medical Services, demonstrated to the staff how the device works, explained what to expect and answer any questions. Thank you Bill for taking the time to give us such a thorough explanation and demonstration!

Any New Hampshire business, organization or individual can purchase an AED through this state program. For more detailed information, click on this pdf link State of NH AED Information

* According to the American Heart Association , “An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a lightweight, portable device that delivers an electric shock through the chest to the heart. The shock can potentially stop an irregular heart beat (arrhythmia) and allow a normal rhythm to resume following sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA occurs when the heart malfunctions and stops beating unexpectedly. If not treated within minutes, it quickly leads to death.”
