Below is an image of a young man who cried after a fierce struggle and heated arguments to prevent an old oak tree from being cut down.
This oak tree was over 40 years old when Mozart was just 8, 50 years old when the first steam engine was patented, and 180 years old when the Wright brothers flew the first powered airplane. Then, at over 300 years old, the old oak was sacrificed for road construction (between Leamington and Kenilworth, England).
This great tree was not even on the proposed HS2 route but was still felled to make way for service roads
