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.

Jay Aube Featured in New England Real Estate Journal 2026 Spring Preview

March 25, 2026 | 0 Comments | , , ,

TFMoran is proud to share that our Director of Environmental Permitting and Senior Environmental Scientist, Jay Aube, CWS, was recently featured in the New England Real Estate Journal’s 2026 Spring Preview as part of their Expert Engineer Spotlight.

In his article, Jay highlights upcoming changes from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), including the implementation of Nationwide Permits (NWPs) beginning March 15, 2026. These new permits will replace the existing Regional General Permits across New England, creating a more consistent federal permitting process.

One key takeaway is the introduction of a standardized 0.5-acre impact threshold for non-tidal resources, which may affect how projects are planned and permitted moving forward—particularly in states like New Hampshire.

For a full breakdown of what these changes mean and how they may impact future development, read Jay’s complete article here:

A Day in the Field to Identify Invasive Species

October 26, 2023 | 0 Comments | , , ,

This week, Marketing Intern Eric Poublon had the opportunity to shadow Paul O’Hanlon, one of TFMoran’s Certified Erosion, Sediment and StormWater Inspectors (CESSWI), out in the field at an upcoming project in Derry, NH.

Paul showed Eric how to read and reference the Wetlands Impact Plan to locate invasive and native species on site along with marking down ones that may have been missed. They identified four invasives and only one native, Burning Bush, Japanese Barberry, Japanese Knotweed, Oriental Bittersweet and Common Pokeweed, respectively.

Eric had a great time getting to see one of many tasks Paul does out in the field and learn a little about the process that goes into preparation for a project.
