Category	Knowledge of the land/water and environment
Topic	Landscape
Keywords	Streams Trees
Description	Early in the salt cod fishery, rinds (strips of bark) were used to cover fish in wet weather. The banks of the Whitewood Gully had a good supply of spruce and fir trees large enough to provide four and five foot rinds. When the bark was peeled, the trees died and were known as whitewoods, giving the gully its name.
