Two Cumbrian men have been charged in connection with the shock felling of the Sycamore Gap tree.
Adam Carruthers, 31, and Daniel Graham, 38, have been charged with causing criminal damage after the tree was cut down last September.
They have both also been charged with causing criminal damage to Hadrian’s Wall.
There was outcry across the country in September when the 200-year-old Northumberland tree, which stood in a dramatic dip on Hadrian’s Wall, was found to have been cut down.
The men are due to appear at Newcastle Magistrates’ Court on May 15.
