Preserving Precious Resources

Preserving Precious Resources

Looking out one of BrydgeWork’s many stained-glass windows, you’ll see the beautiful surroundings of the Shenandoah Valley. This region is known around the world for its tree-covered mountains and scenic overlooks, making it easy to keep nature top-of-mind for locals and visitors alike. Going solar is one way businesses can pay homage to their surroundings and make a real, sustainable impact. Steve’s solar system saves over 800 trees each year.
