Arbor Day is a day dedicated annually to public tree-planting, promoting the ecological importance of trees and their care.  To honor this day, Village of Barrington Hills, in collaboration with Barrington Area Conservation Trust (BACT), is sponsoring a tree give-away of oak tree saplings on Monday, APRIL 23rd at Pederson Preserve.  It’s first come, first served basis–one per family.
