Landowners can tap into habitat funds
Colorado Parks and Wildlife announced the 2026 Colorado Wildlife Habitat Program application period is now open.
The CWHP offers funding opportunities for landowners who want to protect important wildlife habitat, provide public wildlife-related recreational access for fishing and hunting on their land, or sell property to CPW. The budget for the 2026 funding cycle is $11 million, made possible by revenue from the sale of the Habitat Stamp, hunting and fishing licenses, and through CPW’s partnership with Great Outdoors Colorado.
Landowners or their third-party representatives must submit an application describing how the proposal addresses priorities and preferences. Application materials are available at cpw.state.co.us/cwhp. Proposals must be submitted by 5 p.m. MST Oct. 15.
