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.
