About this Committee
The Northwest Colorado Habitat Partnership Program Committee (NWCOHPP) vision is 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 strategies that resolve conflicts while maintaining healthy sustainable rangelands. In addition to resolving wildlife conflicts, HPP is also statutorily directed to "assist the division in meeting game management objectives..."
The NWCOHPP feels strongly in the idea of working as a partnership with other entities and landowners. The committee would also like to encourage people to leverage the monies available in order to implement as many projects as possible. For that reason, the committee will generally partner on all approved projects on a 50/50 basis including in-kind, non-monetary, contributions. We also require each participating landowner or agency to submit a completed application prior to considering proposed projects.
