Barrington Hills Resident Jenese Busch has donated a beautiful
parcel of woodland property to the Barrington Area Conservation
Trust to ensure that her favorite natural site will be protected in
perpetuity. The Jack David Mondshine Wildlife Conservation Area,
named after Mrs. Busch’s father, a man who loved nature, is located
in the northwest corner of Barrington Hills. The parcel will remain
private property under the protection of the BACTrust. 
Look for the feature article about the Barrington Area Conservation Trust as well as our Conservation@Home program in the March/April issue of Quintessential Barrington magazine.
At the regular Board Meeting of the Barrington Hills Conservation Trust on Wednesday, February 5, the Board voted unanimously to change the organization's name from the Barrington Hills Conservation Trust to the Barrington Area Conservation Trust. We believe that this change will help us more effectively broaden our efforts toward preserving the
remaining open spaces of the entire Barrington Area, while still keeping our focus on those critical properties right here in Barrington Hills.

BACTrust Executive Director, Nancy Schumm-Burgess, recently passed the
examination for Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC).
In the field of land-use planning, this is a highly specialized area
of expertise. CPESC status means that BACTrust can now offer technical
reviews of development plans to local units of government in order to
minimize the impact of development on the environment and other natural
resources, especially our sensitive water resources and aquifers.
 There are only 165 CPESCs in IL, and world-wide there are only 3,000. |
Barrington Area Trust is excited to announce its "Heritage Corridors" Program. This program will enable us to
preserve the look and feel of the Barrington Area by protecting our roads for future generations.
