Comment on Boy, 16, arrested over felling of iconic ‘Robin Hood tree’ next to Hadrian’s Wall

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.
