​​​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.

Participate in the Program

    Contact Your Local DWM

    Before submitting an application, the Committee members require  District Wildlife Manager (DWM) involvement in project proposals. Contact your local DWM to determine whether project concepts align with CPW and HPP missions.

    • District Wildlife Manager Involvement - Required.
    • Agricultural Status - Not required.
    • Hunting Access - Not required, but preferred.
    • Meeting Attendance - Not required; however, if the applicant will not be present, it is suggested that the DWM or a representative attend to present.

    Submit a Project

    Fill out the HPP project application thoroughly. Most committees require supporting documentation such as maps, itemized material lists or contractor quotes, seed mixes, photos, or other materials that help clarify the scope and goals of the project.

    Your DWM and HPP Administrative Assistant can help you complete an HPP project application and schedule you to present your proposal.

    The following items should be included with your proposal:

    • Maps of the project area.
    • Photographs.

    Committee Discretion

    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. Committee meeting dates and locations are listed on their respective committee pages.
