Upcoming June Events at the White Dog Cafe
Sustainable Wild Salmon Dinner with “Save our Wild Salmon”
Saturday, June 14, 6pm
Pacific wild salmon are a national treasure — a nutritious food and a
sustainable natural resource. They connect ocean and river, and provide a
source of endless inspiration. Join White Dog Cafe, Slow Food Philadelphia,
and Save our Wild Salmon as we raise awareness of the threat caused by
unsustainable harvesting practices and harmful damming procedures that are
rapidly depleting the population of wild salmon in rivers and basins
spanning seven western states where wild salmon were once abundant.
