White River Habitat Partnership Program
CPW Committee
Mission & Purpose:
The White River Habitat Partnership Program Committee (WRHPP), since its inception in 1993, has worked in cooperation with CPW to significantly reduce the White River Elk herd to within the desired population objective to reduce agricultural conflicts between big game and livestock. Conflicts within the WRHPP area have been greatly reduced. In recent years, the WRHPP committee's focus has been much more proactive on a landscape scale, with habitat improvements designed to assist CPW in achieving deer, elk, pronghorn and moose management objectives.

Apply OnlineCommittee 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.
