on

The Warren County Izaak Walton League is pleased to announce Youth Day 2022, an opportunity for families to come, play, learn, and discover the outdoors. This free public event is on Sunday, May 15, from 1-5pm at the Warren County Izaak Walton League park (3364 Gooney Manor Loop, Bentonville VA 22610).

With assistance from a local girl scout troop and student volunteers from Randolph Macon Academy, the Warren County Izaak Walton League is excited to offer a range of fun activities for the whole family:

  • Learn to fish in our pond
  • Go for a nature hike
  • Play in our huge beautiful park
  • Participate in structured outdoors activities
  • Discover what lives in our waters with science demonstrations
  • Get introduced to our shooting range and archery
  • Learn about how we can tell if our water is polluted
  • Face painting
  • And more

Hotdogs will be served.

For decades, the Warren County Izaak Walton League has promoted conservation, stewardship, and outdoor recreation in our area. Our chapter is located at a privately owned 19th-century homestead  in Browntown that we use as a park and open to the public for Youth Day once a year. The Izaak Walton League of America is one of America’s oldest conservation organizations, founded in 1922. Over the past 100 years, the Izaak Walton League of America has been a champion and defender of the nation’s soil, air, wood, waters, and wildlife.

Those who are able to donate to support our programs and activities are encouraged to do so.
