Changes

As director of Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries,  Glasgow succeeded the original McKeithen administration appointee, Clark Milliken Hoffpauir (1930-2004) of Crowley in  Acadia Parish. Glasgow expressed a desire to separate natural resources policies from partisanship, but he left the McKeithen administration after just over two years because of renewed political infighting. Outdoor enthusiasts in Louisiana, such as fisherman, hunters, trappers, campers, hikers, and birdwatchers, viewed him as their champion. He served on twenty advisory board and commissions, including the [[Boy Scouts]].<ref name=bio/>

Coincidentally as assistant secretary, Glasgow hired young Robert Jocelyn Barham of Morehouse Parish in northeastern Louisiana, who in 2008 was named the director of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, to work at [[Glacier National Park]] in northernmost [[Montana]]. In an interview published in 2008 in ''The Monroe News-Star,'' Barham said that his youthful experience at Glacier park was "amazing. I was mentored by people like my dad [Erle McKoin Barham] and Glasgow, who knew the importance of our natural resources." Louisiana has 1,500,000 acres of wildlife management areas.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thenewsstar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080101/NEWS01/801010311|title=Barham says love of nature runs deep: New LDWF secretary to focus on coastal erosion|date=January 1, 2008|author=Greg Hilburn|publisher=''[[The News-Star|Monroe News-Star]]''|accessdate=October 21, 2014}}</ref>
