He emphasized that innovation at Princeton Hydro goes beyond technology—it’s about reimagining how we interact with nature and creating solutions that balance ecological integrity with human needs. From combating toxic algal blooms and restoring urban waterways to pioneering green infrastructure and building climate resilience, innovation drives everything we do.
Geoff also highlighted the importance of community engagement, noting that Princeton Hydro’s commitment extends beyond project sites. Whether supporting environmental education, partnering with nonprofits, or working with underserved communities to ensure access to clean water and green spaces, the company believes innovation is most powerful when it’s inclusive and community-driven.

Geoffrey M. Goll, PE, Princeton Hydro President, has been honored with a "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the New Jersey Highlands Coalition. This prestigious award recognizes individuals who have dedicated their careers to protecting and enhancing New Jersey’s environmental, cultural, and natural resources, with a particular focus on the Highlands region.
"It’s an incredible honor to be recognized by the Highlands Coalition," said Geoffrey. "Protecting water resources and restoring critical habitats has always been at the core of what drives me, so it is deeply meaningful to be awarded by an organization that shares that same commitment."
A licensed Professional Engineer in nine states, Geoffrey has over 30 years of experience designing and implementing complex engineering projects that blend ecological restoration with innovative water resource solutions. He has led 50+ dam removals and hundreds of environmental restoration efforts across the Northeast—many of which have directly improved water quality, habitat connectivity, and ecological health within the Highlands region.
Geoffrey was recognized alongside fellow honoree Stuart Lieberman, Esq., founding partner of Lieberman Blecher & Sinkevich, a law firm widely respected for its work in environmental and land use law. Stuart’s legal advocacy has advanced the protection of New Jersey’s natural landscapes, making him a well-deserving co-recipient of this year’s "Lifetime Achievement Award."
The awards were presented during the Highlands Coalition’s 10th Annual Golf Outing at Hawk Pointe Golf Club in Warren County. Known for its eco-conscious design and innovative water management technologies, Hawk Pointe provides a fitting backdrop for a day focused on conservation. The outing featured 18 holes of golf, the Coalition’s signature “Empanadas on the Green,” a silent auction, and the celebratory luncheon awards ceremony. Several members of the Princeton Hydro team, a proud event sponsor, participated in the golf outing and the day's festivities.
The Highlands Coalition works to protect and conserve New Jersey's Highlands region to ensure a sustainable future for generations to come, and Princeton Hydro is honored to support their mission. For over a decade, the two organizations have partnered on regulatory compliance reviews, environmental impact analyses, stormwater management projects, and community-focused stewardship initiatives.

Earth Day is more than a date on the calendar—it’s a gentle nudge to reconnect with the natural world around us, and a reminder that everyday actions can shape a more sustainable future. Whether you’re tending a garden, removing invasive plants, or picking up litter while out on a walk, these small steps add up to a healthier, more resilient planet. This year, our team found a few fun and meaningful ways to mark the occasion, and we hope this inspires you to get outside and get growing, too.
Spring is the perfect season to take action in your yard or community green space. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, here are a few tips from our team to help your garden thrive:
Looking for more tips? Princeton Hydro landscape architects Jamie Feinstein, RLA and Cory Speroff, PLA, ASLA, CBLP shared their top spring gardening tips in an "Ask Me Anything" Facebook live Q&A session, including:
To welcome spring, members of the Princeton Hydro team spent an afternoon outside tending the native garden bed at the Trenton headquarters. Located at the front of the building, the perennial planting area features climate-adapted, drought-resistant native species chosen for their ecological benefits and aesthetic appeal.
Although perennials return year after year, they still benefit from seasonal care. Tasks like weeding, pruning, and loosening the soil support strong root systems, encourage healthy growth, and help maintain a thriving, sustainable garden ecosystem. Recognizing the garden's significance and the value of collaboration, our team united to accommodate and nurture this year's growth.
“It was a fun chance to unplug, get our hands in the dirt, and connect with coworkers in a different kind of ‘team meeting,’” said Mikhail Velez, Communications Coordinator. “It’ll be exciting to see how the space fills in over the season, and we’re looking forward to doing small things throughout the year to keep it healthy and thriving.”
Feeling inspired? Organizing a gardening day is a fun, low-cost way to give back to your environment and bring people together. Celebrate Earth Day 2025 by starting a garden, volunteering with a local environmental group, or organizing your own mini planting day with friends, family or coworkers.
Rain gardens are a beautiful, low-maintenance green infrastructure solution for managing stormwater, reducing erosion, and improving water quality by filtering pollutants before they reach local waterways. They also provide valuable habitat for pollinators and other beneficial wildlife.
On April 12, Princeton Hydro President Geoffrey M. Goll, P.E. led a free public workshop on how to build a rain garden of your own. Hosted in Yardley, PA by the Lower Makefield Township Environmental Advisory Council as part of their Environmental Lecture Series, the session offered practical, approachable guidance for managing stormwater at home.
Using photos from his own yard, Geoffrey walked attendees through how he designed and installed a rain garden to reduce runoff and eliminate pooling water. He shared ten easy-to-follow tips and answered questions on plant selection, drainage strategies, long-term maintenance, and when and why to amend soil before planting.

The real spirit of Earth Day lies in our ongoing commitment to care for the natural world, not just once a year, but in everyday choices and community actions. As Geoffrey quoted in his rain garden presentation, "Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world." – Howard Zinn.
