Founded in 1996, SouthWings is a conservation and public benefit aviation non-profit that provides skilled pilots and aerial education to enhance conservation efforts across the Southeastern USA. Their team and and service are unique, combining the knowledge of conservation issues with professional piloting skills. We enable those we fly to better understand, from an otherwise inaccessible vantage point, the globally significant ecosystems of the Southeastern United States.

"I Had No Idea..."
The most frequent comment South Wings hears from passengers after a flights is -I had no idea. Why? The bird's eye view from a small plane provides a unique opportunity. They enable those we fly to see beauty and human-induced landscape change in our environment from another, otherwise inaccessible, vantage point.



Through the aerial perspective, SouthWings' service provides experiential understanding of environmental challenges and opportunities for conservation. This perspective fosters understanding of scale/magnitude, and the relationships of cumulative and compounding environmental effects. South Wings provides a means to educate public and elected officials, media, community leaders, researchers and conservation organizations.
