Post Storm update
Damage from Sandy was minimal on the common property of CLE. Much work had been done following Irene eliminating many of the most dangerous trees. Hopefully, we'll have a quiet winter...

"Very High" Forest Fire Risk
Given the especially dry and windy weather that we are having, please be aware that the area has been deemed to be at "Very High" risk of forest fires by the DEEP. As always, any open burning requires a permit from the Town's fire marshall. Current fire-risk status can be found on the Connecticut DEEP website.
Northeast Utilities/NSTAR Merger Impact
Thank you to the ~10 CLE residents who took the time to write the DEEP and argue that any merger between these Companies should include, at a minimum, a 20 year extension of the memorandum of understanding that protects open spaces through out the State- including Vaughns Neck. Unfortunately, although the initial agreement between the State and NU has much to offer, it only provides for a 10-year extension of the MOU for Vaughns Neck. Several emails were sent coordinating this activity- if you are not receiving these important updates, it is because your email address is not yet in our CLE data base.
In October of 2010, invasive Zebra Mussels were found in in the waters of the Housatonic River in nearby Lakes Zoar and Lillinonah. Work is actively being done to reduce the threat of exposure in Candlewood. For suggestions as to what we can all do to limit the over-land transport of zebras, click on the zebra picture.
CLE residents Scott and Debra Randall attended the first DEP/CLA "Invasive Investigator" training held on April 9 in New Milford.
