No one gains anything though.

It’s not like there’s some greedy property developer waiting in the wings.

Some expensive cutting boards soon to be in the gift shop

Hope it's left there symbolically

There are a lot of local theory’s.. it’s just absolutely vile and sickening mentality to go and do that though, I only hope they are caught strung up. 

[Mick Dempsey]

Well, it’s done now.

 

I’ve got over it. 
Next outrage please.

Not allowed to string them up . Put them in jail with a release date of when any replacement tree reaches same dimensions as the one felled 🙂

Wonder if it could coppice if fenced from sheep?

This would be a good time, while this situation is being highlighted by the media for the likes of the Arboricultural Association, National Trust & NTS, etc., to band together alongside the Police to not only ensure the maximum fine is applied but to also highlight the importance of trees like this and the reasons as to why they are protected and that all trees should be pruned, if actually required, correctly and to the proper standards.

What’s it to do with the Arb Association? Bit like a Motorcycle Club getting together with the police on Traffic laws, or the National  Trust come to think of it - they can’t even manage their own trees and woodlands correctly?

we have reduced your sycamore for you. now that price we gave you was for pruning only. if you want us to take it all away its going to be another £1500

He might be young but he knows how to use it

Yes he does by the look of the cut. Local farmers lad perhaps. Not much else to do around there except chase sheep and cut down trees. Unusual for a youth to go to that much effort. Someone take him on quick he may turn out to be a hard working competent tree cutter🤔
