worldwide outrage after the felling

The removal of the tree from its well -known place called "Sycamore Gap", a striking depression in Hadrianwall, caused worldwide outrage in September 2023.

punishment for the perpetrators

In May, two men were sentenced to Criminal damage after they had fell.

a new home for the tree

The largest remaining part of the saved tribe is now permanently exhibited in the "The Sill: National Landscape Discovery Center", about three kilometers from the place where the tree once stood. The National Trust of the United Kingdom handed this part of the tribe to Northumberland National Park, in which the tree originally stood.

a place of commemoration and hope

In a press release, the park said: "In the days and months after the elation, The Sill became a place of celebration and commemoration. Visitors left note, letters, drawings and news that expressed grief, love and hope." After the precipitation, a public consultation for the future handling of the tree trunk was carried out. "The resulting exhibition honors the natural form of the tree and invites people to interact with it in a very personal way."

a touchable tree trunk

A spokesman for the park announced on Thursday that the component, which will be accessible to the public from Friday, "can be touched and is hinged". The trunk stands upright, like once, and is surrounded by oak drinks and curved wooden strips that form a leaf roof in the form of a huge sheet - and thus reproduce the protection that the tree used to be.

tribute from the community

Some homages from the local community were incorporated into the wood. Tony Gates, the managing director of Northumberland National Park Authority, commented in the press release: "The original tree may have been disappeared in the form we knew, but his heir remains, and what has come since was endlessly. This confirms our belief that people, nature and place cannot be separated and are dependent."

a work of art as an honor

Charlie Whinney, the artist behind the new exhibition, said: "This order was the greatest honor of my career. I really hope that in some way we can help people in Northumberland and those who wore this tree in their heart to process the loss that they still feel after the illegal fall of the tree in September 2023."

"The work looks hopefully into the future, the tree is growing again, and Sycamore Gap will always be a magical place to visit." added whinney.
