About this Committee

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.
