Izaak Walton League of America

In extending the 2018 Farm Bill, Congress could have included roughly $14 billion for vital conservation programs at the Department of Agriculture. Despite bipartisan support, key leaders did not add the funding in the final package.

A local Izaak Walton League chapter immediately transforms into a hub for food, supplies and support for South Dakota town where homes were destroyed or severely damaged by a catastrophic flood in June 2024.

The North American Grasslands Conservation Act would preserve and restore some of America's most important and iconic landscapes. The Izaak Walton League is fighting for this crucial legislation.

Rather than holding a hearing about post-Sackett perspectives, Congress should be working restore Clean Water Act protections to all wetlands and tributary streams, which the vast majority of the American public supports.

The Farm Bill represents the largest public investment in conservation on privately owned lands. That means that the legislation is also a clean water, soil health and carbon sequestration bill.
