About This Trend
Sycamore Gap was a 150-year-old sycamore tree located near Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, England, and was one of the UK's most famous natural landmarks.
The tree is trending because two men, Daniel Graham and Adam Carruthers, have been found guilty of illegally felling it in 2023. The incident sparked widespread public outrage and media attention, with prosecutors describing the act as a 'moronic mission.'
