Do you want to be an active steward of our Sierra foothills landscape? Want to get your hands dirty contributing to a healthy forest in your “backyard”? Then join with the Yuba Watershed Institute (YWI) to “tend the wild” in the ‘Inimim Forest, your local community forest stewardship project.
Join us for a fun day of removing the invasive plant Scotch broom from the forest. This work will improve wildlife habitat and help reduce the risk of high intensity wildfire. You will also learn about local forest ecology and opportunities to get involved with the work of the Yuba Watershed Institute.
We will meet in the parking lot of the North Columbia Schoolhouse Cultural Center at 9 am for registration. Then we will carpool together to a nearby work site in the ‘Inimim Forest. Snacks, tools, and work gloves will be provided.
To attend, please RSVP to chris@yubawatershedinstitu
This event is part of the Scotch Broom Challenge, an annual effort to reduce the impacts of this invasive plant, organized by the Fire Safe Council of Nevada County in partnership with a number of local groups. To learn more, visit http://
