Major Oak, historic Robin Hood tree, has died
The Major Oak, an ancient tree in Sherwood Forest linked to Robin Hood legend and estimated to be up to 1,200 years old, has died after years of decline. Experts believe its demise resulted from a combination of climate change, soil compaction from heavy tourism, and past conservation efforts that may have inadvertently contributed to its deterioration. Despite efforts to preserve it, the tree's condition worsened, and it is now considered a natural monument and habitat, with saplings distributed globally to preserve its legacy.
