From the Stockton Record:
“The San Joaquin River has a bit more room to breathe upstream of Stockton after a nonprofit conservation group on Wednesday purchased a 497-acre dairy ranch west of Modesto. …
“The organization secured voter-approved bond money from the state Department of Water Resources and the state Wildlife Conservation Board.
