OUR HISTORY Founded in September 1923, the Frederick Chapter is one of the first chapters of the Izaak Walton League of America. As one of the nation's oldest and most respected conservation organizations, the Izaak Walton League of America is a powerful grassroots network of nearly 270 local chapters nationwide. The League takes a common-sense approach toward protecting our country's natural heritage and improving outdoor recreation opportunities for all Americans. We invite you to learn about our work and to join us in supporting important conservation initiatives in your community.
OUR STEWARDSHIP of the LAND Through easements, education and outreach the Frederick Chapter strives to develop and promote conservation efforts that are relevant to and supportive of our community and surrounding environment.
ENVRONMENTAL PROTECTION: Working with the Maryland Environmental Trust, we have preserved 49 of our 50 acres in perpetuity through an environmental easement, thus protecting the land from further development.
EDUCATION: Firearm safety is a priority with our chapter. Range Safety officers are available and NRA trained instructors offer hunter safety courses to young and seasoned hunters, a Maryland state requirement of all hunters.
