Saplings from the famous tree are being given to 49 UK charities and groups.
Saplings from the felled Sycamore Gap tree are being given to charities, groups and individuals as "trees of hope".
Each sapling represents a foot in height of the tree, which stood in a dip in Hadrian's Wall and was cut down in September 2023. The charity invited organisations or individuals to bid for a sapling and had nearly 500 applications."They spoke of loss, hope and regeneration and each told heartfelt stories of people's connection to the tree and the importance of nature," he said.Catherine Nuttgens, an arboriculture specialist who led the judging, said: "The destruction of the Sycamore Gap felt so utterly senseless, but this trees of hope initiative has kept that sense of joy alive.
