Two men, Daniel Graham and Adam Carruthers, have each been sentenced to over four years in prison for cutting down the beloved Sycamore Gap tree in northern England.
The 200-year-old tree, a cherished landmark near Hadrian's Wall, was felled in September 2023 in what the judge described as an act of 'sheer bravado.' The incident sparked widespread anger and sadness across the UK, highlighting the cultural and environmental significance of the tree. The case has also prompted calls for stronger legal protections for iconic and ecologically important trees.
The men were also convicted of causing damage to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hadrian's Wall.
