Izaak Walton League of America
Des Plaines Chapter 206

Our Pledge

To strive for the purity of water, the clarity of air, and the wise stewardship of the land and its resources; to know the beauty and understanding of nature and the value of wildlife, woodlands, and open space; to the preservation of this heritage and to mankind's sharing in it. I pledge myself as a member of the Izaak Walton League of America.

Our Mission

To conserve, restore, and promote the sustainable use and enjoyment of our natural resources, including soil, air, woods, waters, wildlife and outdoor recreation.

News Room

Since 1922, the IWLA has been instrumental in establishing the nation's bedrock environmental laws and policies that protect the nation's woods, waters and wildlife. In addition to national advocacy, we continue to pioneer community-based conservation and citizen science programs locally.
