Barrington Area Conservation Trust

Barrington Area Conservation Trust is committed to preserving our community’s rare and exceptional open spaces for current and future generations.  We are able to achieve our mission through the generous support of individual members, family foundations and business organizations. Preserving vital landscapes is an important part of the work we do. 95% of the land in Illinois is private property. Through conservation easements and heritage corridors, BACT and other land trusts in Illinois are able to help protect open spaces and conservation values of land on private property.
