The Izaak Walton League of America was created as an environmental conservation organization in 1922. It was well ahead of its time. IWLA was formed by a group of outdoorspeople, fishers and hunters. A century ago, they noticed as their precious places, water and land were becoming ruined by raw sewage, industrial run-off, and rapid development. They formed the League to defend America's water quality and to push for the preservation of healthy land for use by all. Over the years, the mission of IWLA has expanded. Today, the preservation of healthy agricultural land, improved air quality, and greenhouse gas reduction have been added to the mission. I am honored to have my recent article "The Future of Conservation: How we can all support a richer world" included in their last 2023 issue of "Outdoor America". https://lnkd.in/eitBKjdj
