At a court trial in Northern England, which we have been following, like many other international environmentalists; two men have now now been found guilty of the felling of an iconic tree located along ‘Hadrians Wall’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadrian’s_Wall – the northern most frontier of the ancient Roman Empire.
The two environmental thugs, Daniel Graham – 39 years of age, and Adam Carruthers aged 32 years, both from Cumbria in Northern England; have been convicted in a trial at Newcastle Crown Court on two counts of criminal damage – and the two have been remanded in custody ‘for their own protection’ until they are sentenced on 15th July 2025.
The pair even filmed themselves on a mobile phone destroying this beautiful, iconic landmark – so the evidence was pretty clear for the jury, who reached a unanimous verdict after a short deliberation.
Mrs. Justice Lambert leading the trial informed the pair to be prepared for ‘lengthy’ custodial sentences.
The iconic tree, which had survived the harshness of life on the wall; and yes it can be very bleak there; for over 150 years, was destroyed by the pair within a matter of seconds.
Despite this mindless destruction, the base of the tree still exist and is being monitored and nurtured by specialists. The legacy is to grow 49 new trees from the remaining section of the tree.
This will be the positive shared with a global audience who were devastated by events.
