Established in 2009, the Dean Trail Volunteers is an independent group of riders from all disciplines and backgrounds, working in partnership with Forestry England to develop and maintain the official mountain bike trails in the Forest of Dean. We are all volunteers who share a passion for mountain biking and the trails we ride on. Our aim is to create and maintain a variety of enjoyable and challenging XC and DH trails for locals and visitors alike and to positively promote mountain biking in the area.

Keeping Our Trees Healthy

We all have a key role to play in the battle against tree pests and diseases, and the importance of our actions has never been greater.

As part of our operations, we practice good tool hygiene. This means that we make sure that all of our tools and equipment are cleaned at the end of every dig, helping to prevent the spread of any disease. You can also help by cleaning your bike and kit after your ride and before you visit trails in other locations.

Pests and disease can be devastating, and no one wants to ride a hill side that has been stripped of its trees.

More information can be found on the Forestry England website.
