Jack Lorenz, the longtime director of the Izaak Walton League, died March 2.
Lorenz became known nationally during his 18 years at the helm of IWL where he developed a code of ethics on outdoor activities and led the group into the forefront of the national environmental debate.
Lorenz was respected in many outdoor circles, bringing together groups often at odds with each other like the Sierra Club and National Rifle Association to achieve common goals.
Paul Hansen, who led the Izaac Walton League from 1995 to 2007 spoke highly of Lorenz.
"He was the nation's spokesman for many years on the ethical management of hunting, angling and off-road vehicle use," Hansen said. "He was one of the nation's most well known and popular environmentalists."
