THE TWEED FOUNDATION
The Tweed Foundation is a Charitable Trust set up by the River Tweed Commissioners to promote the development of Salmon and Trout stocks in the Tweed River System. Charity No. SC011055
The Foundation is regarded as being at the forefront in bringing a more professional, scientific approach to salmonid management. It is engaged in an extensive programme of biological research, monitoring and habitat enhancement with the aim of protecting Tweed’s valuable fish stocks and maximising the river’s natural productivity. See the attached note on the work of the Foundation.
The Foundation’s affairs are regulated by a board of Trustees. Currently, the River Tweed Commissioners’ Chairman and Treasurer are also automatically Chairman and Treasurer of the Foundation. Funding of the Tweed Foundation’s activities comes from a variety of sources: a contribution from the R.T.C., membership, donations (from private individuals and other charities, etc.) and through various grants - most notably from the European Union’s Objective 5(b) programme (from 1993-1999), Scottish Natural Heritage and most recently the Heritage Lottery Fund.
