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. If you are unsure who your DWM is, the Administrative Assistant III for your local HPP committee will assist you.

- 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.

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:

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.
