About This Committee

The White River Valley is home to some of the largest herds of elk and mule deer in the State of Colorado and also has small herds of antelope, bighorn sheep, and moose. 

Since 1993, the WRHPP committee has worked in cooperation with CPW to significantly reduce the White River Elk herd to within the desired population objective, thus conflicts within the WRHPP area have been greatlyreduced.
