The Izaak Walton League in Mesa County, part of a broader national organization, advocated for several ecological and environmental changes, including: the establishment of grasses for sheep and cattle grazing, the prevention of sewage runoff in the Colorado and Gunnison Rivers, the abatement of smog in the Grand Valley, and erosion and flood control.
School superintendent and local leader Lucille (Hunter) Mahannah worked as a member of the Ladies branch of the organization to initiate the local Johnny Grass Seed Movement in 1951.
