Daniel Graham and Adam Carruthers face trial for allegedly felling Sycamore Gap tree, causing significant damage valued over 623,000. The tree, a historical landmark, drew global grief upon its destruction. Mrs Justice Lambert indicated the jury will hear about the criminal damage related to the felling, which also affected Hadrian's Wall, a UNESCO site. The iconic sycamore, planted around 150 years ago, was a popular tourist spot and featured in the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. The national Trust removed it for restoration efforts and future exhibitions.
The felling of the Sycamore Gap tree in September 2023 was met with an outpouring of grief and anger, both locally and globally.
After the Sycamore Gap tree was felled on the night of September 28, 2023, it was chopped down into sections and removed from the site.
