Marele Stejar, asociat cu legenda lui Robin Hood, s-a uscat. Copacul din Pădurea Sherwood avea 1.200 de ani • Newsweek România

The Major Oak, a 1,200-year-old tree linked to the Robin Hood legend, has died in Sherwood Forest. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds confirmed its death after it lost its leaves last spring. Experts noted that the tree's decline was influenced by climate change and human activity. Despite its death, the Major Oak remains significant for wildlife and as a symbol of Sherwood Forest. The organization urges visitors not to take materials from the site, emphasizing the tree's historical importance.
