"A forestry expert is confident that the Sycamore Gap tree in Northumberland is not completely dead and will likely start to regrow some shoots within weeks. Chris Brewchorne, who works in forestry and with very old trees, is confident that the stump will see new growth and shoots in a matter of weeks. He said: “It's big and it's old, but sycamores do regenerate very vigorously. It’s a traditional coppice species. “At one time, they were coppiced for pit props of all things. And there was a lot of sycamores planted for the pit props in the north and in Scotland. Chris has assured people on Facebook that the tree looks healthy and that it has been cut high enough to allow new growth. He added: “I don't think anyone can 100 per cent guarantee, but I have chopped a 160-year-old oak, which was that size, and it came back.

“A lot of people do not realise the regenerative power of trees and sycamores are one of the best. If it was a beech tree there would be no chance of it coming back. The simple fact is the sycamore's a coppice. A forester would have cut it a lot lower than that but if you’ve got a couple of footed bark you’ll see little red shoots, little red buds coming just below the cut on the bark coming out in a few weeks. Then it'll go dormant for the winter but I reckon that by the summer next year, that'll have two or three feet of fresh springy growth all around it and I'm quite confident in that.”

“Most of the living part of the tree is actually under the ground and they want to live. They have mechanisms to cope with things like this. They’re clever things.”

Slightly off-topic bc this isn't an NP but it is Scotland and therefore entirely beautiful. :D

Schiehallion - one of the Munro mountains.

"Schiehallion is one of the most familiar and best known mountains in Scotland. A whaleback ridge from most viewpoints, it appears as a perfect cone when seen from across Loch Rannoch. Contour lines were invented on the mountain as part of an experiment to determine the mass of the earth."

Used to love this show back in the day. Haven't watched it since.

It was an interesting time when it was shown in our country. There were not many foreign movies and TV series back then, and it turned out that everyone watched the same thing, and then we would discuss what we had seen at school. Everyone was so worried about the relationship between the main characters))))
