After the Town of Northborough purchased the land of the former Fish and Game Club in 2002, analysis of soil samples detected high concentrations of lead and arsenic along a former skeet shooting range and to a lesser extent in a rifle firing range. In 2010, 1 to 3 feet of soil was removed and replaced with uncontaminated topsoil. Pine trees and red maple trees were planted as part of the land reclamation.
