Berlin spends $1.2M to buy Horseshoe Pond for conservation

The Town of Berlin has purchased three parcels of land from the Sudbury Valley Trustees to complete its purchase of Horseshoe Pond at Mount Pisgah.

The $1.15-million deal was completed on Tuesday, according to the Worcester District Registry of Deeds.

The property comprises 100 acres at the intersection of Linden Street and Lyman Road and was formerly known as McGrail Farm. 

Sudbury Valley Trustees purchased the property in September as the Town secured grants and created a public conservation area, according to the organization’s website.

The Town received $874,268 from the Massachusetts Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness program.

In October, Sudbury Valley Trustees helped the Town of Boxborough purchase 23 acres for conservation.
