The County Administrative Board of Värmland has applied to have four Skog Finnish farms in Värmland listed on UNESCO's World Heritage List. The application, submitted in 2025, concerns the farms Ritamäki, Kvarntorp, Juhola, and Aborrtjärnsberg for future nominations, with the final decision to be made by the government. However, the Swedish National Heritage Board, which along with the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency is responsible for the initial selection process, has chosen to wait after a preliminary assessment.
In a press release, Elene Negussie, an investigator at the Swedish National Heritage Board, stated that their assessment indicates potential but that central issues regarding criteria, protection, and management need further investigation before a position can be taken.
