COUNCILS AND COMMITTEES

About this Committee

The North Fork of the Gunnison Habitat Partnership Program Committee (NFGHPP) was formed in 1989 to help resolve big game 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 due to 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.
