Save Our Cypress
Both the Atchafalaya Basin and this way of
life are rapidly disappearing. In an effort to save the Basin and
this culture, I want to share my love for this land and my knowledge with
other people. I'm completely committed to the preservation of the Basin
for future generations. I hope to see you soon.

| A Louisiana
swamp tour like no other! By using a small six-passenger boat, I
provide an adventure deep into the "magical swamps" of the
Atchafalaya Basin where other swamp tours with their big boats can't
go. I also offer a very personalized tour without sacrificing the
comfort of a bigger boat. The only limit to the places that we can
go is the seasonal water level.
The tour lasts a minimum of two hours. The boat is
powered by a new "quiet & environmentally friendly" 90 HP four
stroke Yamaha outboard. The length of the tour and the fact that it
is a personalized tour makes it the best value in Louisiana by far.
We will experience breathtaking views, gigantic
cypress trees, local culture, and native wildlife. The tour is a
great adventure for people of all ages.
Dean A. Wilson is your Atchafalaya Basinkeeper, he is
also LEAN’s advisor on cypress and Atchafalaya Basin issues, and the
Chair of the Atchafalaya Basin Committee with the Sierra Club. He
works to protect the Atchafalaya Basin and Louisiana’s swamps
through education, research and enforcement. With help from
volunteer pilots from SouthWings, the Atchafalaya Basinkeeper is the
only group that searches for illegal cypress logging in southern
Louisiana and the main one doing the research on the cypress mulch
industry, the industry driving the logging. Wilson spearheaded the
Save Our Cypress Coalition that managed to stop most of the cypress
logging in coastal Louisiana To learn more about the Atchafalaya
