One of Britain’s most famous trees, a sycamore that was several hundred years old and stood in a dip in Hadrian’s Wall, was cut down overnight. A 16-year-old boy was arrested Thursday on suspicion of criminal damage. nyti.ms/3PWHzwv
He should be chopped down
Regardless of age, the level of cruelty that went into felling this tree is heinous and should forever haunt whomever did this for the rest of their life.
Oh no!! That’s terrible
Surely social media and content creation had NOTHING to do with the motive here. Surely.
As well as criminal charges, I hope this follows his name for the rest of his life and carries that shame with him forever.
The good news is that Acer pseudoplanatus coppices well. So long as the tree is healthy, it may (slowly) come back. The fact that this nearing the end of the growing season is also a good thing, as it should have significant energy stores in its roots.
I hope this kid steps in front of a bus :3
This tree has seen wars. It has seen love. And it's seen folk of all types walking by and resting beneath its shade. This is so sad.
