And spot the name of the National Trust Conservation Manager. What a brilliant name for his job.

Nice to see something positive come out of an act of utter stupidity.

Poll:

Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

very much so. There's stupid and then there's what they did. But this gives some closure to all the people who have been mentally damaged by the stupid act.

It wasn’t stupidity. It was a deliberate and planned act to destroy something beautiful for their own personal gratification at the expense of others.

They got four years in prison for their trouble (a year or two after remission?). It it was my decision they’d have got a lot longer than that. Maybe forced labour until one of the harvested seeds grew to a tree of the equivalent size. That might have made anyone else thinking of vandalising what isn’t theirs have a think.

Still, you are right with those saplings, something good has come out of it.

I have a sycamore, dumps loads of leaves and shade on my drive. Considering taking it down. Have to dig up several saplings a year. Very fast growing, the saplings. Not a fan of sycamores near houses. It's not an indigenous tree to the UK either.
