Izaak Walton League of America

Over the years, evidence has accumulated that outdoor recreation can serve as therapy for wounded veterans. Some of those wounds are hard to see—and harder to heal. The Izaak Walton League has been involved in this process for more than 75 years.

Sackett v. EPA has the potential to devastate protections for wetlands and degrade water quality nationwide which is why the Izaak Walton League has filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court to defend the Clean Water Act.

The Inflation Reduction Act will help improve soil practices across millions of acres in the U.S., address the climate crisis and help farms to be more resilient and profitable.

The North American Grasslands Conservation Act would encourage voluntary conservation, recognizing the collaborative role of ranchers, farmers, Tribal Nations, government agencies and outdoorsmen and women. Modeled after the highly successful North American Wetlands Conservation Act, this legislation would provide funding through a landowner-driven, voluntary, incentive-based program to conserve and restore threated grasslands.

The League announced an ambitious plan to leverage its strengths that have been hallmarks of the organization since its founding in 1922: community-based conservation, volunteer science and advocacy.
