In England, 39-year-old Daniel Graham and 32-year-old Adam Carruthers were each sentenced to four years and three months in prison for cutting down the 200-year-old Sycamore Gap tree in Northumberland in September 2023. Judge Christina Lambert said the act was carried out “out of pure bravado.”
The tree, which also damaged a section of Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was felled at night using a chainsaw and filmed by the suspects. Public outrage followed the release of the footage.
