‘The human race has always had an emotional attachment to trees. Trees live so much longer than a human lifespan that we imagine, perhaps sentimentally and fancifully, that they probably knew our ancestors and witnessed significant historical events. Certain familiar trees have become particular objects of affection. The wanton felling of the Gap Sycamore tree caused national outrage.’
