Izaak Walton 100 year anniversary!

January, 1922

100th Anniversary! In January 1922, a group of concerned anglers and hunters gathered in Illinois to create an organization to stop the degradation of America’s waterways and natural areas. They named the organization after Izaak Walton, the conservationist and author of the Compleat Angler.

Since then, the League has advanced some of the most effective conservation ideas in the nation’s history, shaping what would become the fundamental, bedrock laws and policies that protect our natural resources now and for generations to come.

Please check out the National wed site at IWLA.org to learn more about the conservation activities of the League and how you can help!
