Woodrow Hunter explains some of his work assignments while  in the Civilian Conservation Corps.

"We set out pine trees.  They're still down there today, down in that part of the county, see them pines growing.  We didn't set those out at Montgomery Bell, because they had a camp down there, down at Montgomery Bell.  But we set out most of them from, oh I'd say from Centerville, maybe in a radius of about fifty miles around there.  We also worked on erosion control.  A lot of them farms down there had formed gullies, and we filled them up with rocks."
