Crowe Valley seeking volunteers to monitor zebra mussels

20 Jun 2025 11:03 PM | Anonymous

Here’s a great opportunity to help with lake stewardship.

Crowe Valley Conservation Authority (CVCA) is implementing an invasive species monitoring program and looking for volunteers who live on/or have access to the lakes in our watershed.

The first species monitoring program (and hopefully many more to come) will focus on tackling the spread of invasive zebra mussels.

The program will run from June to September during which time volunteers will be asked to place a zebra mussel settler plate (provided by CVCA) on a dock, buoy, or permanent structure that they have access to. This plate should be checked every 2-3 weeks for the presence of zebra mussels and findings will be reported to a national database.

Currently, the settler plates CVCA supplies will have a cost of around $20. The CVCA is also seeking sponsors to help cover the cost. If you’d like to volunteer, or be a sponsor, email specialprojects@crowevalley.com.
