This has made me unreasonably sad. The Major Oak in Sherwood Forest has been officaially declared as dead this Spring. Such a massive part of my life. I loved going to Sherwood to say hello to the Oak. And it was one of the places I insisted we had to take the kids when we went back for a visit. Fuck climate change.

Major Oak: Ancient 'Robin Hood' tree is dead, experts say

The Major Oak is thought to have stood for more than 1,000 years in the heart of Nottinghamshire's Sherwood Forest.

It's good that it will be left as a monument, and that its saplings have been shared.
