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 Supports NH Envirothon

September 18, 2023 | 0 Comments | , , , ,

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.

The NH Envirothon program is administered by the NH Association of Conservation Districts (NHACD). Other supporters include the NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES), Society of American Foresters | Granite State Division, NH Association of Conservation Districts, Society of Soil Scientists | Northern New England, the Fox Research and Demonstration Forest, and NHTI.

February 24, 2021 | 0 Comments | , , , , , ,

The Village at Banfield Woods, a recent project of TFMoran, has been published in the Portsmouth Herald just in time for Engineer’s Week! This highly desirable community is surrounded by woodlands covering over 44 acres, inviting its residents to enjoy the great outdoors. TFMoran worked with Green & Company and provided local and state permitting, surveying, civil engineering, planning, landscape architecture, and construction administration services for the project. This residential development currently under construction will feature 22-unit stand-alone condominiums with common open space.

TFMoran Principal Corey Colwell is featured in the article, speaking about the project team and the design challenges that they faced. “This project utilized an exceptional team of consultants including soil and wetland scientists, wildlife biologists, civil engineers, surveyors, attorneys, and land planning consultants to design and permit this unique neighborhood.”

We are proud to be a part of the project team bringing this community to Portsmouth!
