The Idaho Conservation League (ICL) is a non-profit organization devoted to protecting Idaho’s environment. “The ICL preserves Idaho's clean water, wilderness and quality of life through citizen action, public education, and professional advocacy.”〔(Charity Navigator Rating - Idaho Conservation League )〕 As a 501C3 all donations are tax refundable and ICL relies on the support of foundations and supportive individuals for funding. The Idaho Conservation League devotes the majority of its funding to conservation efforts. 80% of ICL’s budget goes directly to programs aimed at protecting clean water, clean air, and Idaho’s wild landscapes.〔 ==History== What is now the (Idaho Conservation League ) originally began as a series of casual lunches where people could meet to discuss environmental issues. After discussions about how Idaho needed an environmental legislative lobby group, three individuals – Ken Cameron, Ken Robinson, and Tom Davis – founded the Idaho Conservation League and began putting together a diverse board of stakeholders. The ICL was founded in 1973 as a voice for conservation at the Idaho Statehouse and they have engaged in every legislative session since.〔Germain, Jeanette.
