“It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.”

― Robert Louis Stevenson

Robin Hood’s Famous Major Oak Tree Is Believed to Have Died. The Major Oak is said to be 1200 years and weighs a massive 23 tons. More than 900 of the trees in the park are over 600 years old, and the forest is rich in wildlife.

For the first time in over a millennium, Major Oak in Nottingham’s Sherwood Forest failed to produce leaves this spring, signaling the tree’s demise.

The ancient oak tree would have been around in the 12th century during the High and Late Middle Ages, when Robin Hood is said to have lived.

Rest in Peace Major Oak :( The death of Sherwood Forest’s legendary tree marks the end of an era, while offering a sober reminder of climate change and important lessons for the future protection of the trees and forests around the world.

The Major Oak will remain standing in the forest as a monument for people and wildlife, the RSPB confirmed.

Saplings from the tree have also been planted across the world.

It was worth it! It was worth the endless local politicking and whining, it was worth more than a decade of debates, because now we have our wind farm and it was able to help our communities.
