The public resources contributing to the Juneau County Forest and Park system provide a major component for addressing the ecological and socioeconomic needs of the community.

The mission of the Juneau County Land, Forestry and Parks Department is to manage, conserve and protect this natural resource base on a sustainable basis for present and future generations. To achieve the mission, the County Forest and Parks are managed in accordance with balancing local needs with broader State, National and global concerns through integration of sound forestry, wildlife, fisheries, endangered resources, water quality, soil conservation, and recreational practices.
