Names of Note: Lyons family gives again to river restoration
The Lyons family has donated $50,000 to the restoration of Dos Rios Ranch, a floodplain zone close to its farmland southwest of Modesto. The gift reflects the family’s efforts to farm in a way that enhances wildlife habitat. This has included the recovery of the once-endangered Aleutian cackling goose, along with fish and other creatures in the floodplain project. Dos Rios stretches across about 2,400 acres where the Tuolumne and San Joaquin rivers join.
