Police investigating after former tree of the year winner, estimated to be several hundred years old, felled
Edit: Update!
Police arrest 16-year-old after Northumberland landmark ‘felled’
If found guilty, let him pay for replanting a similar-aged tree to the site.
Throw the book at him!
With paper manufactured from the tree!
Why not skip the “making paper” step?
That little shit.
Lil shits.
We have reason to believe it has been deliberately felled.
I wonder what gave it away.
Someone needs to mill it and make a lot of souvenirs to help pay for the new tree.
just a put wood glue

Can someone explain why it’s so terrible, that this tree has been felled?
I don’t think I’ve seen it before, so to me it’s more significant that it fell on Hadrian’s wall. But I do seem to be ignorant here, so can someone educate me?It was hundreds of years old and people liked the tree enough that it was featured in photographs and film. It’s not terribly complicated.
Read the article, it contain info.
Trees are only significant if you’ve seen them?
He’s literally asking for knowledge. And your take is to ask him if something is only significant if he’s seen it?

At a minimum, it was owned by the national trust, so in no way was it his tree to cut down.
Not sure why you are being down voted. You are asking for knowledge. Others have provided decent answers though. Again not sure why you are being down voted.
Well, I assume some people understood me as asking “It’s just a tree, why the bother?”. I tried to get around this with wording, but whatever.
I kinda guess this is largely a “local” thing (not sure how large “local” is though). And of course it’s a pity that an angry teen destroyed a hundreds of years old tree.
