About Us
The Minnesota Valley Chapter of the Izaak Walton League is a 100% volunteer-run community of nature lovers and conservationists. We steward native acreage along the bluffs of the Minnesota River and run programs like the nationally recognized Green Crew youth leadership initiative, the Kouba Gallery, and the Young IKE podcast. Our mission is simple but powerful: to conserve, restore, and promote the sustainable use and enjoyment of our natural resources.
