General manager Andrew Poad said the sycamore had been “an important and iconic feature in the landscape for nearly 200 years”.
Well, Robin Hood was supposed to have been running around in the 12th century, so I suppose it was a bit ahistorical in the context of the guy anyway.
Maybe have the little lumberjack go up and try his hand at being an arborist and plant some new sycamores along the wall for future generations.
EDIT: If they move quickly on it, I imagine that they could probably use cuttings from the existing tree.
EDIT2: Yup, apparently it works with cuttings:

Primary method of propagation: seed
Alternate propagation method(s): cutting, grafting/buddingWell, Robin Hood was supposed to have been running around in the 12th century, so I suppose it was a bit ahistorical in the context of the guy anyway.
I think it’s called the Robin Hood Tree because it was in a Robin Hood film.

That’d be a nice touch, from one tree dozens could spring up. Seems fitting.

Yeah, but the movie was presumably filmed there because they were looking for something that didn’t have houses or whatnot in view, looked like it did during the time of Richard Lionheart.
Bruh thats just sad. Why would you do that?!?
If it’s a climate protest, I approve.
It’s a sycamore, they can be coppiced tf. They grow like weeds.
It’s got the media’s attention but spoiled a few tourist photos, big deal.
If people are outraged over one tree, they really don’t have a grip of the situation.
Why would you cut a tree down in a climate protest?
We’re destroying the environment, what’s the difference? This has got more attention than throwing paint about and stopping workers from getting to work.
Plus, the tree will be fine. No harm, no foul.
Because that’s how nowadays climate protesting works, they are just and only destructive and don’t understand that this is doing absolutely nothing for their goal.
