Two charged over felling of historic Sycamore Gap tree

Daniel Graham, 38, and Adam Carruthers, 31, have been charged with causing criminal damage to the tree and Hadrian’s Wall, the Crown Prosecution Service said. Both are due to appear at South East Northumberland Magistrates’ Court on 15 May 2024.

There was a national outcry in September when the much-loved, 200-year-old tree was found to have been cut down.

Northumberland National Park (NNP) said it had received 2,000 “heartfelt” messages from people from all around the world expressing sadness and that it had been inundated with offers of help.
