Talley Community Amenity Association

The Talley Community Amenity Association (TCAA) is a registered Charity and a registered Company Limited by Guarantee with Companies House and with the Charity Commission for England and Wales.  It exists to promote facilities for recreation and leisure activities for the benefit of the inhabitants of the parish of Talley, particularly the provision of public amenities and public woodland. 

Talley village owns 66 acres of land and woodland on Mynydd Cynros and is well worth a visit. It offers interesting walks and amazing views. But the woodland (and foot paths) need ongoing TLC.

This is where the TCAA - and hopefully you - come into place.

The TCAA manages  the land between the two areas of NRW owned forestry areas. It consists of areas of acid pasture, several areas of trees planted around 2004 and an older area of woodland. Using money from a Sustainable Management Grant from the EU and Welsh Government the aim for the next two years (2020 to 2022) is to develop this area to improve biodiversity through clearing brash, tree maintanance and conservation grazing.
