Welcome to the Yuba Watershed Institute (YWI). We are a non-profit, 501c(3) public interest organization dedicated to the ecologically sustainable management of the Yuba River watershed on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada. Our first project area, known as the ‘Inimim Forest, is 1800 acres of BLM lands intermingled with privately owned lands on the San Juan Ridge in Nevada County. The San Juan Ridge is a narrow, 30 mile long ridge between the South and Middle Yuba Rivers and has a population of about 2500 people. Our long term vision is a healthy, diverse forest that is home to both wild creatures and human beings and is ecologically and economically sustainable over centuries. To this end we are involved in research projects for the understanding and protection of our native flora and fauna as well as for the development of a forest based human economy.
