As the weather begins to warm up, and the lake level starts to rise, the Candlewood Lake Authority is reminding the community out hiking the shoreline, to pick up any trash, litter or lost belongings before it's covered by water again.  They're also asked to keep an eye out for zebra mussels on the shoreline.  Anyone who goes out to monitor for the invasive species is asked to send their starting and ending address to science@candlewoodlakeauthority.org so CLA can keep track of any searched shoreline.  If any mussels are found, CLA also asked to include a photo for to confirm it is a zebra mussel.
