San Luis Valley Habitat Partnership Program
CPW Committee
Mission & Purpose:
The San Luis Valley Committee area has seen many changes to wildlife habitat as a result of population growth, expansion of recreation, and subsequent habitat fragmentation. The committee will continue to monitor and adapt to these changes, and projects will be implemented wherever the committee believes that they will effectively reduce or eliminate big game conflicts and assist CPW in achieving game management objectives. The committee has identified current and foreseeable issues for the area an 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.
Impact areas include the pronghorn population west of Center, elk on the Rio Grande River corridor between Del Norte and Alamosa, and elk associated with the Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge. The SLV HPP Committee continues to fund projects including pronghorn surveys, conservation easement transaction cost funding, and fencing to help resolve these issues.
