COUNCILS AND COMMITTEES

About this Committee

The Mount Blanca Committee area is comprised of large areas of contiguous private lands, which poses unique issues and conflicts with wildlife. The committee area has undergone changes to big game habitat and distribution. This has occurred as a result of precipitation and weather deviations and changes in agricultural production and land use. In the past, the committee has implemented some unconventional ideas and methods in order to resolve these issues as they arise. The committee will continue to monitor and adapt to these changes. 

This committee and it's plan focuses on assisting CPW managers in working with federal land managers, owners of large private ranches, subdivision homeowner associations, and agricultural producers. We consider the goals, objectives and mandates of each of these entities when assisting with developing solutions and strategies to provide adequate habitat, reduce conflicts, and provide quality opportunities for sportsmen/women within the MBHPP area.
