A Walk For The Tree At Sycamore Gap

I want to walk!

About the Walk

On September 28th 2023, the iconic 150-year-old Sycamore Gap Tree that stands next to Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland, England was deliberately cut down in an act of terrible vandalism.

On the one-year mark of this senseless act, please join our community in taking a walk in your local area, to reflect on this tragic loss. As we walk, we’ll send hopeful energy to the tree’s stump, willing it to regrow. We’ll also appreciate the beauty of the trees around us, honoring their resilience.

The core goal of this walk is to send healing energy to the Sycamore Gap tree. There is a chance the tree could regrow shoots and while it would take 150-200 years to reach its full size, there could still be life in it. In fact, some small shoots have already begun to grow.

Healing requires taking action. It is not a passive event.
