Southwings is a non-profit organization
located in Asheville, North Carolina that assists other non-profit
environmental organizations by allowing them to see their watersheds
from another perspective. On August 4, 2004, Southwings pilot John
Miler took Altamaha Riverkeeper James Holland on a flight of the
watershed beginning on the coast and heading North toward Macon.
We hope you enjoy this photo log of their adventure. Our thanks
to Southwings for making this very informative trip possible.

Holland. John is a pilot for South Wings, a non profit group
out of Asheville, N.C. South Wings assists other non profit
environmental groups to see their watersheds from a different

never get to view and inspect their watersheds from the air.
The Executive Director of South Wings is Taylor Barnhill.
