About Us

Conservation

Since 1922, the Izaak Walton League of America has been restoring wetlands and streams, establishing wildlife refuges and parks, fighting for cleaner air and healthier forests, teaching outdoor ethics and promoting outdoor recreation.  Nearly every major conservation victory in America bears our fingerprint.

Community

Our work is guided entirely by grassroots volunteers. Members set policy through a democratic process that raises local issues to the state and national levels.

Common Sense

We don't take a "doom-and-gloom" approach to conservation. Instead, we look for practical solutions that benefit everyone.
