Whether it's relocating an osprey nest or replacing wetlands as part of a mitigation project, we frequently go beyond what is required of us simply because it's the right thing to do.

	Right Tree/Right Place Project Hits the Trail BGE continues to make an impact in the area of environmental stewardship, placing the utility a cut above the others when it comes to improving service reliability and community beautification.
