Colorado Parks and Wildlife

The Habitat Partnership Program (HPP), funded by revenue from the sale of big game licenses, works through local committees to develop partnerships among landowners, land managers, sportspersons, the public and Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) to reduce conflicts caused by deer, elk, pronghorn and moose to agriculture. HPP also assists CPW to meet game management objectives for deer, elk, pronghorn and moose. Read more about the HPP program.

About Minor Repair Projects

Many committees have simplified applications and processes for landowners with minor fence repair, fertilizer and weed control projects.

Committees that offer these have specific requirements so please contact your local wildlife officer or the administrative assistant at your local CPW office for your committee area to discuss your situation and how best HPP may be able to help.
