Derick RethansI'm watching an older episode of Digging for Britain, which features Hadrian's wall, and they keep showing drone shots of the Sycamore Gap Tree.A beautiful tree in a beautiful spot, that some arseholes thought to be great to cut down for no reason. Still makes me angry. <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sycamore_Gap_tree" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sycamore_Gap_tree</a><a href="https://phpc.social/tags/trees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trees</a> <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/sycamoregap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sycamoregap</a> <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/sycamoretree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sycamoretree</a>

DoomsdaysCWIllness delays trial of men charged with cutting down Britain’s scenic <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SycamoreGap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SycamoreGap</a> treeBy BRIAN MELLEY Updated 7:23 AM EST, December 9, 2024LONDON (AP) — "The trial of two men charged with cutting down the majestic Sycamore Gap tree last year along Hadrian’s Wall in northern England was postponed until January because one defendant was ill, a judge said Monday."Justice Christina Lambert adjourned the case until the week of Jan. 6 in Newcastle Crown Court after a defense lawyer said Daniel Graham was too ill to attend the start of what was expected to be a two-week trial."Graham, 39, and Adam Carruthers, 32, have pleaded not guilty to two counts each of criminal damage on charges related to toppling the tree and damaging the ancient wall built by Emperor Hadrian in A.D. 122 to protect the northwest frontier of the Roman Empire."Prosecutors have revealed little about the case but said the value of the tree exceeded 620,000 pounds ($790,000) and damage to the wall was assessed at 1,100 pounds ($1,400)."The 150-year-old tree stood in a dip between two hills was a beloved spot to visit for locals and a favorite subject for landscape photographers. After being featured in Kevin Costner’s 1991 film 'Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves,' it became a big draw for tourists to the wild and scenic region."<a href="https://apnews.com/article/sycamore-gap-tree-northumberland-trial-3c65e5416be23dbf2afebefed362345e?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apnews.com/article/sycamore-gap-tree-northumberland-trial-3c65e5416be23dbf2afebefed362345e?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us</a>

The felling of old forests affects <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climatechange</a> which in turn creates an global environment where even more forests are lost.

Mike TorrJust played "Lullaby of the Leaves" on my whistle, at Sycamore Gap. I wish I had seen the tree when it was still there, but at least I paid my respects. The good news is that the stump is sprouting!A passing rambler videoed it as well, so keep an eye on YouTube!It was a gorgeous sunny morning, and it was fantastic to be out in scenery (which I can now actually see, after my lens replacement the other day).<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/AchievementUnlocked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AchievementUnlocked</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/SycamoreGap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SycamoreGap</a>

Roanna Carleton TaylorFinished <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/sycamoregap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sycamoregap</a> . I think every artist in the country has either painted this or plans to. Anyway, here's my tribute to the felled tree (which I believe is showing signs of regrowth)

Roanna Carleton TaylorTwo more sessions on <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/SycamoreGap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SycamoreGap</a> . Finally starting to look a bit more like a tree! It's very interesting painting a specific tree, I usually paint generic ones but this has to look like the subject. Think the basic shape is right now. <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/oilpainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oilpainting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/landscapepainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscapepainting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a>

Greg HillsThe Sycamore Gap tree is fighting back. Lots could still go wrong, but this is the best news I've seen yet. If it does regrow from the original roots, how Gap Tree Mk II will look is still unknowable as it depends on how many of the shoots thrive. Rebuilding that beautiful single-trunked, gracefully domed silhouette is only one possibility of several.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/aug/01/felled-sycamore-gap-tree-stump-green-shoots-stump" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/aug/01/felled-sycamore-gap-tree-stump-green-shoots-stump</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sycamore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sycamore</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sycamoregap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sycamoregap</a>
