TFMoran Supporting NH Envirothon 2025

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 Celebrates Women in Construction Week!

March 4, 2025 | 0 Comments | , , , , ,

It’s National Women in Construction Week 2025! Organized by the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), Women in Construction (WIC) Week, with the theme of “Together We Rise” celebrates the strength and knowledge of women and the vital role they play for the future of the construction industry. This year WIC Week is running from March 2nd-8th, shines a spotlight on the incredible women shaping the construction industry and honors the achievements of women in a variety of roles—from builders, engineers, and surveyors to project managers, administrators, and leaders.

WIC Week not only celebrates the vital contributions women make across the construction sector, but it also aims to raise awareness and inspire future generations to pursue careers in this dynamic field. Since its inception in 1998, NAWIC has used WIC Week as a platform to promote the success and impact of women in construction. As we mark the 27th year of WIC Week, let’s continue to build on this legacy and inspire change for a more inclusive and diverse industry!

For this year’s WIC Week celebration, TFMoran Environmental Scientist, Kyra Higgins, was featured in a Q+A article in both High Profile Magazine and the New England Real Estate Journal

Kyra Higgins is an Environmental Scientist at TFMoran. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Conservation and Sustainability from the University of New Hampshire. She is passionate about environmental education as well as finding innovative, nature-based, equitable solutions to the pressing natural resource and climate-related issues.

Kyra says a project she is most proud of is a Wetland Functional Assessment Report she completed in Fall of 2023 for a large residential development in Bedford, NH. She says, “With a tight deadline, I worked overtime to ensure the report was thorough and detailed, particularly on wetlands and proposed avoidance techniques. A few weeks later, the NHDES reviewer praised the report for its organization and use of their Wetland Rules. This feedback was rewarding, as it showed that my hard work made a positive impact while strengthening TFMoran’s Relationship with NHDES. It was encouraging for future coordination and finding common ground between developers and state agencies”

Kyra’s mom has been her biggest inspiration in her career. Kyra says, “She worked full-time while always balancing family and career. She left the finance industry to become a fitness trainer, following her passion. Her journey reminds me to pursue what excites and motivates me.” Kyra’s advice to the next generation of women in AEC: ” Find your passion, even if it takes time, and trust that when you’re passionate, you’ll do your best work!”
