New Mexico Envirothon Hall of Fame

After learning of the national program, Peter became the driving force behind establishing Envirothon in New Mexico. As a passionate conservationist, Peter’s infectious laugh and unwavering encouragement inspire and uplift the next generation of land stewards. As President, he has built a dedicated board of professionals who deeply value working with him. We are grateful to Peter for his vision in starting New Mexico Envirothon and for years of committed service.

Terrel has been a part of New Mexico Envirothon since its first competition, serving in a wide variety of roles. Each year, he says, “One day we want you to take our jobs and give back as proud land stewards and managers.” That message captures his deep commitment to the next generation of conservation leaders. Terrel’s mentorship—both to students and fellow board members—has been a driving force behind the continued success of the program. 

Mark Hedge has led the Scat Cats program at Hot Springs High School for 17 years, leaving an impact as the winningest coach in New Mexico Envirothon history. Mark’s unwavering dedication to his students is evident in everything they do. He has served on both the New Mexico and the NCF Envirothon Boards to help shape the future of environmental education nationwide. We are proud to recognize Mark Hedge as a Hall of Fame Inductee.

Logan has served New Mexico Envirothon for over a decade as a station lead, mentor, and dedicated board member. Known for his generosity and wit, he consistently challenges students to grow not only in their understanding of natural resources but also in life. As the long-time soils station lead, Logan maintains the event’s “hardest test” superlative, all while sharing his stories, wisdom, and legendary world-class coffee with the Envirothon community.

As the years go on, we will continue to add Hall of Fame Inductees to this webpage. If you are interested in nominating someone for this high honor, please email info@nmenvirothon.org to submit your nomination for board consideration.
