17 TWENTYNINE PALMS RESTAURANT GET KUDOS FOR CLOSING DUMPSTERS

The Living Desert Zoo & Gardens has issued its Gold Star award to 17 restaurants in Twentynine Palms for demonstrating the sustainable practice of consistently closing their dumpsters to protect the local community and wildlife. Reporter Andrew Dieleman explains the significance of the award…

In the City of Twentynine Palms, 17 restaurants were recently presented with the Gold Star award from the Living Desert Zoo & Gardens for consistently keeping their dumpsters closed, a critical factor in reducing the large raven population in Southern California, which is now 17 times larger in the Mojave Desert than it was 50 years ago. Inflated raven populations decimate native wildlife, especially the threatened desert tortoise.

Restaurant owners are encouraged to apply for their own gold star award by contacting Alex Ocañas at [email protected].
