Upper Yampa River Habitat Partnership Program

CPW Committee

Mission & Purpose:

The Upper Yampa River Habitat Partnership Program committee (UYRHPP) continues to provide an essential function of assistance to residents of the Upper Yampa River area in addressing and mitigating conflicts between agricultural producers and big game.

The shifting population in the region from primarily agriculture-based operations, to more urban and residential settings has created issues for wildlife and residents alike. The fragmentation of private lands into smaller acreages, the increased use of adjacent public lands, and varying local habitat conditions have effects on big game and their seasonal distributions. These effects are resulting in immediate and long-term consequences for land managers and producers.

Getting Started

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.

Committee Guidelines

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.

Participant Commitments

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.
