TL;DR Summary

Two more men have been arrested in connection with the cutting down of the world-famous Sycamore Gap tree, which stood next to Hadrian's Wall in England for about 150 years. The men, both in their 30s, were released on bail without being charged. The tree, featured in the film "Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves," was cut down in September, causing damage to the wall. A 16-year-old boy and a man in his 60s were previously arrested and released. The incident has sparked outrage and is being investigated as an act of vandalism. The tree has been removed and stored by the National Trust, and efforts are being made to propagate saplings from collected seeds.
