We are 50,000 people nationwide who care about conservation, outdoor recreation, and protecting our treasured wildlife and natural resources heritage for generations to come.
We enjoy fishing, hunting, bird-watching, hiking, camping, canoeing and many other types of outdoor recreation. However, our primary reason for joining the League--one that ties us all together as members--is conservation. We go about our business in a firm, polite way to oppose activities that jeopardize natural resources.
As true grassroots voices throughout the United States, we are committed to promoting a centrist, common-sense approach to conservation that reflects the public's continued interest in the protection and responsible use of natural resources. Unlike other conservation organizations, whose policies are established by relatively anonymous boards of directors, all League members have a voice in the formation of League policy; delegates at our annual national convention vote on conservation policy recommendations submitted by their fellow members.
Many who join the Izaak Walton League belong to one of the 370 local chapters. Others are involved as members-at-large. As League members, we promote conservation in our local communities, in states and regions, and nationally.
