The CBJ Assembly is charged with the wise utilization and management of boroughs assets, including natural, renewable resources, such as timber. The CBJ is 3,244 square miles, just over two million acres and it owns over 22,000 of those acres which are covered in second growth timber. At the turn of the 20th century Juneau’s timber was harvested for housing, boat building, firewood and the mining industry. That utilization of timber 100 years ago created our current second growth forest which is ripe for harvest given the information contained in the U.S.
