00:00A sapling that's been grown from the century-old sycamore gap tree, which was illegally felled in September 2023,
00:07has been planted at Segadunum, Roman Fort, in Wolvesend, North Tyneside.
00:13The original trees felling by Daniel Graham and Adam Carruthers sparked national outrage
00:19and led to prison sentences of over four years for the pair.
00:24North Tyneside Mayor Karen Clark said that the sapling links one of the region's most famous landmarks with its Roman
00:30heritage.
00:31Segadunum received the tree after the Friends of Segadunum applied for planting.
00:36Officials hope that it will inspire visitors for generations, symbolising renewal, hope and the enduring story of Hadrian's Wall.
