Horizon Farms

In 2003 BACTrust worked with the McGinley family to place a conservation easement on the 420-acre Horizon Farms at Route 62 and Sutton Road. This easement is one of the largest private conservation easements in the state of Illinois. Through the generosity of the McGinley family, this easement will ensure that this vast rolling farmland remains intact for future generations. Read the complete story here.
