Official update on the Sycamore Gap plans – request for publics help!
Preparations are underway to remove the tree at Sycamore Gap tomorrow.
The National Trust have put out the following statement… The 50-foot tree had stood for almost 200 years until it was felled in an act of vandalism two weeks ago – it will now be carefully moved by crane and taken to a property in our care, where it will be safely stored.
The tree is currently resting on Hadrian’s Wall in a precarious position, so it’s necessary we move it now, both to preserve the monument, and to make the site safe again for visitors.
During the past fortnight, seeds from the tree have been collected by our specialist propagators and are being looked after at our Plant Conservation Centre.
We encourage people to stay away from the site while this complex process takes place.
We’ve also been amazed and inspired by the offers of help and good wishes we’ve received since the news of the tree’s felling broke – it’s clear the tree at Sycamore Gap captured the imaginations of so many people who visited.
We’re now welcoming suggestions from the public who would like to help or have ideas for the future of the tree on: sycamoregap@nationaltrust.org.uk, but we kindly ask people to please bear with us while we work with local partners to consider what might be possible.
