Ancient oak tree cut down by Toby Carvery
- An ancient oak tree was felled in Whitewebbs Wood in Enfield on April 3, prompting a police investigation.
- The felling occurred because the tree lacked a Tree Preservation Order, leaving it unprotected from potential harm.
- The oak, estimated to be 300-500 years old with a 6.1-meter girth, was nationally significant for local ecology.
- Adam Cormack stated this "depressing crime" highlights the need for tree protection; Russell Miller called the surgery inappropriate.
- Enfield Council reported the damage as criminal, placed an order on the stump, and seeks guarantees for other trees.
