Client acquires 31 additional acres to expand Barrington conservation preserve; qualifies for $360,000 Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation grant.
Several years of efforts in support of our client, Citizens for Conservation, paid dividends in the acquisition of 31 additional acres of land in Barrington for the Craftsbury Preserve, the client’s second largest conservation preserve, now totaling 52 acres. Portions of the land appears to have never been plowed, suggesting that the potential for complete pre-settlement restoration is extremely high.
