Conservation cannot afford to enter the political arena as a candidate or partisan." A founder and member of the National Wildlife Federation, William Aberg was also active at the district, state, and national levels of the Izaak Walton League. He was a successful Madison attorney and active in civic circles. He joined with other conservationists in 1927, including Aldo Leopold, to create the Conservation Act. This law set up a commission comprised of unpaid citizens to oversee the state Conservation Department. He also helped to construct the state's forest crop law. As a newspaper article stated, "his origins in Sweden and northern Wisconsin provide a backdrop to a life dominated by nature."
