British authorities have arrested a 16-year-old boy on suspicion causing criminal damage in connection to the Sycamore Gap tree, which was believed to have been felled early Thursday morning. The tree, located on the UNESCO World Heritage site Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland National Park, is thought to be over 300 years old. It was made famous in the 1991 movie “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,” starring Kevin Costner.

Es erweckt ein Gefühl von Begeisterung und Inspiration!🌺
Why would anyone have the need to do this?! 😢
Capitalism will eventually destroy us all.
Cruelty at it finest. Sad.
This is awful. That tree was a much-beloved local landmark, and a common spot for proposals. From what I read this morning, this crime was committed by a 16 year old. No motive has been released. Apparently some experts have been called it to see if the stump can be saved, or if enough material exists to replant. Of course, this tree can’t really be replaced, as it would take two centuries to get it back to the stage it was in before this teenager decided to eradicate it.
This reminds me of an incident some years back, when a farmer in his tractor plowed through a considerable amount of Offa’s Dyke in Wales, claiming he didn’t know how “significant” it was.
When people destroy such things, they impact upon local communities and far beyond; they are stealing from all of us.
They need to charge this little shit with Cultural Genocide. Or allows us all one big slap across his face.
Very painful news
The work of FASCISM
That's like spitting on history. Give the perp 10 years. 😢

Very very sad 😢
What an idiot!!!
How old was that ????
I would love to see the saw that was used. This was a national treasure and I hope the culprit is jailed for a long time.
To quote The Lorax, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing’s going to get better. It’s not.”

Very sad…. Heartbreaking.
A man in his 60s has just been arrested fir the crime. Ref BBC news Sat Sept 30
It’s so much easier to destroy than it is to create.
Humans are cancer to this planet.
Unfortunate. This is a serious crime. People who committed this should be punished.
16 year old boy has to go stand in trees place as punishment , for the rest of his life. He will be lucky if someone cuts him down. That tree was like a person, guardian of that land for ages.
poor tree 😢
Why? For what purpose?
Destruction for the sake of destruction.
Honouring and preserving nature is humanity's duty.
They murdered the tree. Why?
