Welcome!

The Suffolk-Nansemond Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America (S-N IWLA), chartered in June of 1954, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation, maintenance and protection of the soil, forest, water, and other natural resources of the city of Suffolk, VA and surrounding areas; and to promoting means and opportunities for educating the public about their enjoyment and wholesome utilization.

We are proud of our Members’ accomplishments and each year we select one chapter member to receive the annual Tobin Award. The award recognizes the chapter’s most outstanding and dedicated member for contributions made throughout the previous calendar year.
