COUNCILS AND COMMITTEES

About this Committee

The San Juan Basin HPP Committee was formed in March 1994 to help landowners and habitat managers resolve big game conflicts with fences and forage and, in later years, to also help achieve game management objectives.

The committee area includes a diverse mix of public, private, and tribal lands; and consists of a variety of habitat types and land use patterns. Deer and elk populations in the area peaked before the turn of the century, and in recent years have been at or below objective. Agricultural operations and the loss of habitat for housing 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 will effectively reduce or eliminate biggame conflicts and assist CPW in achieving management objectives.
