Izaak Walton League
The Izaak Walton League of America is a national conservation organization dedicated to conserving, restoring, and promoting the sustainable use and enjoyment of American's natural resources. The Izaak Walton League was founded in 1922 to conserve outdoor America for future generations. The League's 54 founders, who were avid anglers, named the organization after Izaak Walton, the 17th century author of The Compleat Angler, a classic book about the art and spirit of fishing. We are one of the earliest conservation organizations to set an aggressive course to defend wild America by changing public policy. Almost every major, successful conservation program that America has in place today can be traced directly to a League activity or initiative. (http://www.iwla.org/)
