Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
SOUTHWINGS PROVIDES AN UNMATCHED AERIAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHALLENGES - AND SOLUTIONS - TO PROTECT AND RESTORE THE FORESTS, RIVERS, COASTLINES, AND WETLANDS OF THE SOUTHEAST. THE GULF COAST, THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS TO THE ATLANTIC COASTAL ZONE, AND THE SOUTHERN CHESAPEAKE BAY WATERSHED ARE OUR THREE LARGEST PROGRAM AREAS. THANKS TO OUR DEDICATED CORPS OF VOLUNTEER PILOTS, SOUTHWINGS EXPOSES THE BROAD SCALE OF ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS AND INSPIRES ACTIONS TO CONSERVE OUR VITAL ECOSYSTEMS AND THE COMMUNITIES THAT RELY ON THEM. DURING 2021, SOUTHWINGS' VOLUNTEER PILOTS CONDUCTED 75 FLIGHTS THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHEASTERN REGION INCLUDING THE CHESAPEAKE BAY, CARRYING 96 PASSENGERS. SOUTHWINGS' VOLUNTEER PILOTS MET 95% OF REQUESTS FOR FLIGHTS, DONATING HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF FLIGHT TIME. SOUTHWINGS CONTINUED TO ADAPT TO PANDEMIC-RELATED CHALLENGES BY SHIFTING AT TIMES TO ARRANGING PILOT-ONLY FLIGHTS RATHER THAN OUR TYPICAL PASSENGER-CARRYING MISSIONS.
