While it's very sad that the #sycamore on #Hadrian's wall was cut down, the good news is that the root system is still intact and will send up regrowth shoots. Selectively prune the '#coppice' to one stem and it will come back rapidly.

It's nice to see an upside here. It's sad to lose a magnificent tree like this, but it's always to see nature's resilience.
(I also feel sad for the teenager who did this. I'm imagining a kid who's been carrying some real pain and will now be experiencing some serious accountability.)
