Whilst in the minds of most, Walton's name is primarily
associated with angling, there was much more to the man.
His philosophies in what are now generally referred to as
"environmental" issues is fundamental
to the Izaak Walton League of America.
_________________________________________________
Activities both of the UK Chapter and at the Cottage, both of
non-angling as well as angling nature are listed in the
"Stop Press" section.
The overall chapter conservation programme is aimed
at meeting, in the years ahead, UK needs and, briefly summarised,
we plan to support and promote:
- Developing and protecting National Parks and
natural areas,
- Removing pollution and stopping inappropriate drainage
methods,
- Fish conservation (river, stream and lake
improvements),
- Wildlife conservation (i.e. habitat, food and cover
improvements),
- Improving public attitudes (i.e. anti-litter,
sportsman/landowner),
- Youth activities (i.e. schools, youngster groups, other
organisations).
