About this Committee
The Middle Park Habitat Partnership Committee (MPHPP) endeavors to work cooperatively with landowners and local, state, and federal agencies to establish strategies to resolve immediate fence, water and forage conflicts caused by big game; and to develop and implement long-term solutions to resolve conflicts while maintaining healthy sustainable rangelands. In addition to resolving wildlife conflicts, HPP is statutorily directed to "assist the division in meeting game management objectives..." The committee supports the idea of working as a partnership with other entities and landowners. We encourage interested parties to leverage monies from other available sources to implement as many projects as possible and to show broad reaching interest in managing conflicts.
