League Chapters

In more than 260 communities across the United States, our chapters advance the mission of the Izaak Walton League by restoring watersheds, reducing air pollution, fighting litter, protecting wildlife habitat and open spaces, and instilling conservation ethics in outdoor recreationists. Our commitment to communities has allowed us to thrive for more than nine decades. Our optimism, our spirit, and our vision for a better outdoor America for everyone guide our work.

IWLA Awards: Every year the Izaak Walton League honors its members, chapters, and divisions — along with other deserving non-members, organizations, corporations and government agencies — for their lifelong conservation work. Their efforts and commitments as stewards of our natural resources at the local, regional, state and national levels, are worthy of such recognition.

Greening Your Chapter: Going "green" is everywhere these days. But in fact, the Izaak Walton League has been "green" since 1922, and our chapters led the way. Being "green" means making choices that reduce, minimize, or even reverse the negative effects our actions can have on the Earth's resources. Wondering what your chapter can do? Follow these simple, practical steps. (1.4MB PDF)

IWLA Chapter Manual

Available for the first time in 2008, the IWLA Chapter Manual is an invaluable resource for chapter leaders. The manual covers general League topics such as governance, financial management, legal issues, and fundraising strategies. It also includes ideas on membership recruitment, conservation projects, outdoor activities, and public relations.

If you are a chapter officer, committee chair, or chapter volunteer, this manual is a must-read!
