PDXSeafood Logos popping up around town!

PDXWildlife is excited to announce that the first of our PDXSeafood logos are scheduled to roll out on restaurant menus next week!  We’re so proud!

Planning to go on a sustainable seafood scavenger hunt?  Wondering why we won’t just tell you where to go? Because it’s a secret! But just for now. We will absolutely be rewarding our conservation conscious restaurant partners with lots of media praise (including adding them to our map of sustainable seafood in PDX, here) but we can’t do that just yet because it would bias our sampling. *Sigh* I know. We’re such scientists around here.

So hang in there, sustainable seafood connoisseurs! If you’re not lucky enough to stumble onto a restaurant partner we’ll be advertising these great dining opportunities in a few short weeks.

Wondering what all this logo talk is about? Click here to read the full details of our sustainable seafood outreach program, PDXSeafood.

Guess that Panda

Inspired by the San Diego Zoo’s “Guess that animal” feed on twitter and our little mistaken identity of a panda on our last panda blog post, we decided all you panda fans out there needed a challenge.

The challenge: Be the first commenter to correctly identify the panda in the picture below by June 30th and we’ll send you the prize.

The prize: We’ll send you a cool car window decal of our logo and a nice print-out of the picture for your wall/bragging rights!
