Participate in the Program

    Contact Your Local DWM

    Before submitting an application, contact your local District Wildlife Manager (DWM) or the appropriate HPP administrative staff to discuss your proposed project. If you are unsure who your DWM is, the HPP admin for the committee in your project area can assist. Committee members value DWM involvement in project proposals.

    • District Wildlife Manager Involvement - Not required, but preferred.
    • Agricultural Status - Not required.
    • Hunting Access - Not required, but preferred.
    • 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.
    • Photographs.
    • Material quotes.
    • Contractor bids.
    • Any required permits

    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.

    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.
