A Handbook for Stream Enhancement & Stewardship
The Izaak Walton League is a private national organization founded in 1922 and dedicated to conserving, maintaining, protecting, and restoring the soil, water, and other natural resources of the United States and other lands, and to educating the public about such resources and their needs. For more than thirty years, the Izaak Walton League’s watershed stewardship programs have developed innovative educational programs for groups and individuals. The League has educated and motivated citizens to clean-up stream corridors, monitor stream health, restore degraded stream banks, and protect dwindling wetland acreage. These important watershed stewardship activities have been implemented nationally and in communities across the country through the League’s more than 300 local chapters.
