Gunnison Basin Habitat Partnership Program

CPW Committee

Mission & Purpose:

The Gunnison Basin Habitat Partnership Program Committee (GBHPP) was formed in 1991 to help resolve local wildlife conflicts with agriculture. The committee area includes a mix of private, federal, and state lands; and consists of a variety of habitat types and land use patterns. Wildlife conflicts with agriculture in the committee area are attributed primarily to elk and mule deer, and occur mainly on lower elevations on pasture land, hay stacks, and fences. Agricultural operations, changes in land use, and loss of habitat for residential and recreational development have resulted in specific impact areas that the committee has identified as high priority zones. However, projects will be implemented wherever the committee believes they can effectively reduce or eliminate big game conflicts and assist CPW in achieving management objectives.

Getting Started

Contact Your Local DWM

Before submitting an application, the Committee members require District Wildlife Manager (DWM) involvement in project proposals. Contact your local DWM to determine whether project concepts align with CPW and HPP missions. If you are unsure who your DWM is, the Administrative Assistant III for your local HPP committee will assist you.

Committee Guidelines

Agricultural Status - Required.
Hunting Access - Required.
Meeting Attendance- Not required; however, if the applicant will not be present, it is suggested that the DWM or a representative attend to present.

Submit a Project

Fill out the HPP project application thoroughly. Most committees require supporting documentation such as maps, itemized material lists or contractor quotes, seed mixes, photos, or other materials that help clarify the scope and goals of the project.

Your DWM and HPP Administrative Assistant can help you complete an HPP project application and schedule you to present your proposal.

The following items should be included with your proposal:

Maps of the project area.

Committee Discretion

Committees maintain flexibility in decision-making. They may choose not to fund a project, adjust the level of funding, or request modifications to improve project outcomes, efficiency, or long-term success.

Participant Commitments

Whenever possible, applicants should plan to attend the committee meeting where their project is located. This provides an opportunity to present the proposal and respond to any questions or concerns from committee members. Committee meeting dates and locations are listed on their respective committee pages.
