... is covered by four different acquisitions in connection with the 80 ha nature reserve Ekliden in the southwestern part of Risveden. Naturarvet signed a contract in 2012 with three different owners at Iglekärrs old-growth forest for 70 ha. The collection faltered and in 2014 external consultants were brought in to increase the collection. In June 2015, a new full-time manager was hired. By the end of the year, funding had been secured and the acquisition could be completed and became a nature reserve, which was inaugurated in August 2016 with the unveiling of a unique wilderness bench, carved from an oak trunk from the Gothenburg Botanical Garden by chainsaw artist Tommy Craggs.

In 2018, on Biodiversity Day, May 22, a contract was signed for 39 ha of Skarnhålan. On the same day, a fire started in Iglekärr that skilled firefighters were able to limit to 20 ha across the "border" between Iglekärr and Ekliden. Skarnhålan has everything from natural coniferous forest on the plateau to mixed oak forest on the slopes down to Svällebäck where the endangered river pearl mussel lives. Up on the plateau there is also the small lake Skarnhålan, which is bordered along its shores by agkärr, a Natura 2000 protected habitat.
