Who We Are
Founded in 1922, the Izaak Walton League is one of the nation's oldest and most respected conservation organizations. With a powerful grassroots network of more than 250 local chapters nationwide, the League takes a common-sense approach toward protecting our country's natural heritage and improving outdoor recreation opportunities for all Americans. We invite you to learn about our work and to join us in supporting important conservation initiatives in your community.
Many people enjoy and use the outdoors. With that enjoyment comes responsibility. No one knows this better than an Ike. What is an Ike? An Ike is an angler, an outdoor enthusiast, a hunter, a hiker, a watcher of wildlife. Men, women, and youth who share a love of the outdoors and a commitment to conservation. An Ike is a member of the Izaak Walton League.
