Rollypolly Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Someone has felled the ancient tree at Sycamore Gap in Northumberland. I cannot understand why anyone would do something like that. It just seems like pure malicious vandalism 🤬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a shame, that tree is hundreds of years old, and very famous. Someone with a chain saw apparently, seems senseless to me. What a world we live in... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Bundy Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 How terribly sad. Â Nothing surprises me about what humans are capable of, imagine actually doing that. Â Definitely an act of vandalism, a clean cut with a chainsaw. My bet it's a local farmer who doesn't want folk near or on his land. Â I hope the punishment is stretching his legs apart and seeing how far the felled tree will go up his arris. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's National Trust land. If this was the culmination of some sort of dispute about the land it would surely have been known by now.  First thought was that it was some sort of YouTube **** prankster doing it for the clicks.  Never handled a chainsaw so don't know how easy they are to use without making a mess. But that cut looks pretty clean, like someone knows their way around one.

The_DADDY Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Disgusting behavior and totally pointless. What anyone would get out of such destruction is beyond me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollypolly Posted September 28, 2023 Author Share Posted September 28, 2023 If it is a 16 year old he'll probably just get a slap on the wrist and be allowed to continue his life of crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
