You Can Make an Impact

Even if you don’t hunt or fish, there are so many great ways you can help wildlife and their habitat in Colorado. You can volunteer, purchase a habitat stamp, or donate toward conservation!

Give Back to Colorado

Even a small donation makes a big difference.

Habitat Stamp

The purchase of a Habitat Stamp provides the core funding for the Colorado Wildlife Habitat Protection Program (CWHP). Anyone buying a hunting and fishing license in the state of Colorado must also purchase a Habitat Stamp. This provides the means for Colorado Parks and Wildlife to work with private landowners, local governments and conservation organizations to protect important fish and wildlife habitat. Since 2007, the Colorado Wildlife Habitat Stamp has grown into one of the state’s important conservation programs and has:

  • Conserved 253,000 acres of key wildlife habitat
  • Secured 121,500 acres of public access
  • Protected approximately 36 miles of fishing access
