  Yes just read that too! Just a shocker! Can only be premeditated too!  Nothing can ever bring that back but we hope that somehow something special could be created from the timber. Very sad.

  Probably some mindless protest over something unrelated to the tree.

  An absolute tragedy! Feeling very fortunate I was there myself only last week. Such a waste for all future visitors
