02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The TVTA was set up to develop and maintain mountain biking trails in the Tweed Valley to ensure that they are accessible and in good condition for the wide range of riders, both local and visitors, who come to ride in the area. We work closely with landowners, primarily FLS, to achieve this. We maintain the trails by running regular volunteer based trail maintenance days and we employ 2 part time workers to provide skilled trail maintenance work.
