Forensics team examines trunk for clues as locals claim &#8216;professional&#8217; vandals targeted tree on windy night to mask sound chainsaw sound<\/h3>\n<p>Jon Stokes, of conservation group The Tree Council, told Sky News: &#8216;It is very difficult to know if it will survive for sure, as I haven&#8217;t seen it in person, but it&#8217;s worth having hope.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;At this time of year, trees begin to store energy in their roots for next year&#8217;s growing season &#8211; and it is possible that the tree may grow some new shoots next spring.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If they do appear, they will then take many decades to grow into a new tree &#8211; but there may be a chance. We won&#8217;t know for sure until next spring.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Other environmentalists said the best way to remember the tree would be with the &#8216;gain of a forest&#8217;, given that the UK has Europe&#8217;s second lowest forest cover at about 13 per cent, compared to a 35 per cent average for the continent.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Macfarlane, an environmental humanities professor at Cambridge University, told BBC Radio 4&#8217;s Today programme: &#8216;I think our focus really shouldn&#8217;t be on the offender here. It&#8217;s on culture, it&#8217;s on us as it were. I would like to see relational thinking arise from this. This is one tree.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We have a tendency as a nation to be profoundly sentimental about our wildlife and our nature and much less good about affording it the protections that it needs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/29\/19\/75967099-12576497-An_aerial_view_of_the_felled_Sycamore_Gap_tree_in_the_Northumber-a-26_1696012087171.jpg\" height=\"462\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>An aerial view of the felled Sycamore Gap tree in the Northumberland National Park yesterday<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/29\/19\/75972779-12576497-Forensic_investigators_from_Northumbria_Police_examine_the_felle-a-27_1696012089206.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Forensic investigators from Northumbria Police examine the felled Sycamore Gap tree today<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/29\/19\/75972807-12576497-National_Trust_Rangers_carry_away_branches_from_the_felled_Sycam-a-28_1696012092133.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>National Trust Rangers carry away branches from the felled Sycamore Gap tree this morning<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/29\/19\/75942539-12576497-image-a-29_1696012094428.jpg\" height=\"466\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;So a couple of ideas &#8211; one is that we need greater protection for big, old, venerable standard trees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The other thing is ,the best way to remember the loss of a tree, I would say, is with the gain of a forest. We are drastically deforested.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;So let us reforest the uplands.

A Natural History, crash landed 100ft away.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Titchmarsh, who was on the ground, and the tree escaped unharmed, although four crew members were injured.<\/p>\n<p>As well as being voted England&#8217;s Tree of the Year in 2016, the sycamore also came fifth in the European Tree of the Year awards the following year.<\/p>\n<p>Its isolated spot makes it popular with star gazers and especially photographers keen to snap a picture of the tree lit up by the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12576497\/Felled-Sycamore-Gap-grow-new-shoots-National-Trust-claims.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stump of the felled Sycamore Gap tree is &#8216;healthy and could be used to grow new shoots&#8217;, National Trust claims &#8211;
