All MAL s support the League s efforts through their annual dues. From coast to coast, IWLA chapters marshal their members to help protect and restore the country s natural resources at local and state levels. Tree plantings, roadside cleanups, stream water quality monitoring, Earth Day celebrations, National Hunting and Fishing Day events, fish stocking programs, habitat restorations efforts, and wildlife food plot plantings are just some of activities chapters plan. Many chapters offer nature trails, fishing ponds, shooting ranges or other outdoor attractions. These chapters allow members with a wide range of interests, abilities and special needs to enjoy outdoor recreation and educational opportunities.
Chapters also promote responsible outdoor recreation.
Special fishing events put on by local Ikes introduce the joys of angling to thousands of youngsters throughout the year. Other chapters teach hunter education courses to youth and hold special trap, skeet or sporting clay shooting tournaments. State divisions were created to coordinate the conservation efforts of the chapters in each state into a larger voice on many issues affecting individual states and the nation. Divisions also conduct statewide outreach, education and conservation programs.
