Stiftelsen Glaskogen

To protect Glaskogen's significant natural and beauty values, the County Administrative Board of Värmland set aside Glaskogen as a nature reserve on 28 October 1970. The decision emphasized the area's wilderness character and scenic environments with numerous lakes and streams.

The Glaskogens Nature Reserve Foundation was founded in 1972 by the municipalities included in the area, Arvika, Eda, Säffle and Årjäng. The purpose of the foundation is to work for the development of outdoor life. Since 1986, the foundation has been responsible for the operation and maintenance of all facilities within the reserve.

An advisory body is attached to the foundation's board, with representatives from Stora Enso AB, the reserve manager, individual landowners, the nature conservation association, hunting and fisheries conservation organizations.

Glaskogens Fiskekort is the result of a collaboration between the Glaskogen Foundation, Stora Enso AB and the fisheries conservation area associations in Hillringsbergs FVOF, Järnsjöns FVOF , Stora Börs FVOF , Stora Gla FVOF , Sölje FVOF and Övre Gla FVOF .

In recent years, the fisheries conservation area associations have worked hard to strengthen fish stocks. Partly through the restoration of streams and rivers that were previously used for floating, and partly through the release of rice vases.
