The chapter is the oldest Izaak Walton League in the state, focused on advocacy and conservation.
That’s why it chose to celebrate 100 years with the Envirobash, featuring various conservation groups committed to wildlife education, outdoor recreation and land conservation.
Chapter historyThe Izaak Walton League of America is a national conservation organization founded in 1922 by a group of concerned anglers and hunters in Illinois who wanted to stop the destruction of the country’s waterways and natural areas.
The group was named after Izaak Walton, a conservationist and author of “The Compleat Angler.”
The Oil City Chapter of the Izaak Walton League is the 32nd-oldest in the country out of over 200.
