About the Alexandria Chapter
The Alexandria Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America is a conservation-focused outdoor recreation club situated on 211 acres of scenic Virginia countryside in Stafford, VA. Our chapter is dedicated to the national league's founding mission: "Defenders of Soil, Woods, Water, Air, and Wildlife."
Founded in the spirit of the Izaak Walton League of America (established nationally in 1922), the Alexandria Chapter carries forward more than a century of commitment to conserving outdoor America for future generations. We accomplish this through active conservation programs, outdoor education, youth development, and responsible recreation.

The Izaak Walton League of America
The Izaak Walton League of America is one of the nation's oldest and most respected conservation organizations. Named after the 17th-century English author and angler Izaak Walton, the League was founded in 1922 by 54 anglers in Chicago who were alarmed by the pollution and degradation of their favorite fishing streams. Today, the League has chapters in communities across America working to conserve our natural resources for future generations.
