Using Our Grounds
Our Bow Hunting Program


	To strive for purity of water, the clarity of air, and the wise stewardship of the land and its resources; to know the beauty and understanding of nature, and the value of wildlife, woodlands and open space; to the preservation of this heritage and to man's sharing in it, I pledge myself as a member of the Izaak Walton League of America.

The pavillion is used for a variety of events. Since we received the property as a generous private gift in 1973, members of the Lois Green-Sligo Chapter have worked hard to both maintain the land’s natural beauty, as well as to utilize conservation methods that have preserved the land, and prepared it to be a self–sustaining environment for years to come.

Soil stabilization, water controls, tree planting, the construction of a one acre pond and a new bow hunting program to control the deer herd are just some of the methods used to contributed to the health and vitality of the land and resident wildlife. The success of these measures made our Chapter grounds something of a showcase of conservation methods to other organizations, agencies, and private landowners.

People of all ages enjoy our wide open spaces. Today, the 63.5 acre grounds of the Lois Green-Sligo Chapter offer members and visitors a variety of landscapes and activities. Dense woods, groves of pine, rolling fields and the pond represent many of the natural environments that used to be so plentiful in the region, and are home to a wide range of plant and animals.

The property also offers facilities that make gatherings, large and small, convenient and pleasurable. An expansive pavilion with a concrete floor is the cornerstone of the grounds. Twenty picnic tables, built in charcoal grills, electricity, ample and convenient parking, and his and her bathrooms satisfy the needs for almost any outdoor activity. A horseshoe pit, an open field that can be used for softball, and fishing, available to licensed anglers, add recreational opportunities to an event.

The Grounds have hosted several weddings. The property has been used for corporate picnics, family reunions, a variety of Boy Scout events, and even several weddings. If you are interested in using our facilities to host an event in exchange for a small donation, please read “Using the Chapter Grounds.”
