This image is shot from Alvin Justice’s backhoe, looking down the sight bars to a target. A man, likely Justice, is on the backhoe facing away from the camera while two other men work on the ground. They are working on Wayne McElroy’s farm in the Upper Crabtree community of Haywood County. This photo is from the Tuckaseigee Soil & Water Conservation District, which was formed in western North Carolina in 1957 and became the Swain Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) in 1982. The Swain SWCD’s mission is to provide for a quality environment and higher standard of living while protecting natural resources. The Swain SWCD photographs capture various SWCD projects throughout Swain, Jackson, Graham, Haywood, and surrounding counties in western North Carolina.
