Bringing Communities Together, Through Outdoor Activities

Izaak Walton League of America
Fort Wayne Chapter

Our Mission

The League's approach to conservation is deeply rooted in the outdoor traditions - hunting, fishing, canoeing, and camping - that our founders enjoyed.  In communities nationwide, League chapters have been - and remain - a gateway to the outdoors where generations of Americans caught a fish, shot a rifle, or took their very first steps to protect the environment.
