 Founded in 1996, SouthWings is a non-profit conservation organization that provides skilled pilots and aerial education to enhance conservation efforts across the Southeast. Our team and our service are unique, as we combine the knowledge of conservation issues with professional piloting skills. Working with our flight partners , conservation & community groups located throughout the Southeast, we educate community leaders, policy-makers, and the media, and collect scientific data on the globally significant ecosystems of the Southeast.
SouthWings flights are contributing significantly to increased public and media awareness of regional environmental issues, better environmental legislation before the Southeast's legislatures, improved land management practices, and more protected watersheds, wilderness lands and ecosystem preserves.
SouthWings is supported by donations from many individual contributors and our flight partner organizations; private foundation grants; and by the generous in-kind contributions of our volunteer pilots and other volunteers.

SouthWings is headquartered in Asheville, North Carolina and works in eleven states, from West Virginia to Louisiana. SouthWings' work wouldn't be possible without our network of highly-skilled volunteer pilots, all of whom meet the highest standards of the public benefit aviation field. SouthWings also owns and operates a Cessna 180 aircraft.
