Three Barrington area conservation organizations will collaborate to help Barrington-area residents protect local water sources, thanks to a $5,000 grant from the Barrington Area Community Foundation.
Flint Creek/Spring Creek Watersheds Partnership, Barrington Area Conservation Trust and Citizens for Conservation will work together to create restoration demonstration areas, educational activities, native planting instructions, sample planting designs, online resources, and how-to libraries.
Each organization will draw on its area of expertise for the initiative. Flint Creek/Spring Creek Watersheds Partnership will coordinate and lead efforts; Barrington Area Conservation Trust will develop the demonstration area along Flint Creek in Pederson Preserve in Barrington; and Citizens for Conservation will develop the schematic planting design, determine best native plants and create homeowner designs.
