Papers of Pohl, a Milwaukee, Wisconsin, elementary school teacher and conservation leader. The papers primarily consist of files on the conservation organizations of which she was president: the Milwaukee and La Budde memorial chapters of the Izaak Walton League of America. Included are minutes, agendas, bulletins, reports, and correspondence. Similar but less extensive material is included for the Environmental Education Council of Greater Milwaukee, the Wisconsin Council for Conservation Education, and other organizations. Subject files include correspondence on the Namekagon, Milwaukee, and Wolf rivers with noted ecologist Sigurd Olson, legislators Gaylord Nelson and Henry Reuss, and Walter Scott of the Wisconsin Conservation Department. Additional correspondence of IWL leader Haskell Noyes pertains to the purchase of Moon Lake in Fond du Lac County and its presentation to the State of Wisconsin. Of uncertain provenance is a file on the Walton Boosters, 1930. Some photographs depict conservation education; others show Pohl in a tintype portrait and with Arthur Molstad, Aroline Schmidt, Walter Scott, and teachers of the 68th Street School. English
