About This Committee

The White River Valley is home to some of the largest elk and mule deer herds in the State of Colorado as well as some small herds of pronghorn and moose. The area supports a vibrant agricultural community in addition to active coal mining and oil and gas development. 

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.
