The Izaak Walton League of America is a national conservation organization founded in 1922 and dedicated to protecting America’s outdoor recreation resources. The League believes that America’s future lies in ensuring our outdoors are clean and healthful for people and the full range of fish and wildlife. Working through more than 330 local chapters, as well as nationally, we promote commonsense and practical solutions to conservation issues.
To conserve, maintain, protect and restore the soil, forest, water and other natural resources of the United States and other lands; to promote means and opportunities for the education of the public with respect to such resources and their enjoyment and wholesome utilization.
