About this Committee
Historically the RRHPP has had very few game damage projects and has had an emphasis on improving habit at and distribution of big game species in t he area. The addition of the South Platte corridor to the committee’s boundary in 2015 greatly increased HPP’s ability to help reduce long-term game damage claims along the Platte River. The committee will continue to focus on improving wildlife habit at while reaching out to landowners and wildlife managers along the Platte River to try and lesson the impacts of game damage caused by deer. A livestock grower representative from the South Platte River was also added to help reach landowners in that area and provide perspective to the challenges that they face. The NRCS representative position went away due to the retirement of that individual.
Operating guidelines have been established to help inform funding decisions and prioritization of projects. Budget guidelines show likely allocations of funds based on past projects. Budget allocations may change as new opportunities arise. The committee has identified current and foreseeable issues for the area and has specified project types and management strategies that are aimed at adapting to these issues in order to continue reducing wildlife conflicts and helping CPW in achieving game management objectives.
