North Park Habitat Partnership Program
CPW Committee
Mission & Purpose:
The North Park Habitat Partnership Program committee (NPHPP) continues to be concerned with establishing short-term management actions to resolve immediate fence and forage conflicts caused by big game and to identify adaptive, long-term strategies that resolve those impacts. The committee strives for healthy and sustainable rangelands as well as assisting Colorado Parks and Wildlife in achieving big game management objectives.
The committee works in a historic agricultural area and deals with the typical issues of hunting access, refuges or limited hunting access and elk damages to stackyards. However, the North Park area is currently facing new issues involving Greater Sage Grouse, oil and gas exploration and development plus increased public recreation demands.

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.
