A sapling grown from the Sycamore Gap tree has been stolen from National Trust land at Wray Castle in the Lake District, Cumbria. The National Trust says the sapling—planted about two months ago—was taken from the castle grounds and has appealed for its return. BBC News reports that the theft is believed to have happened earlier this month. The Independent also reports that the National Trust is “shocked” by the theft and is seeking the public’s help to locate the missing sapling and return it. The outlets describe the incident as the removal of the replacement tree from the site. No details are provided by the sources about who is responsible, the method used, or whether any arrests have been made. The National Trust’s appeal indicates it views the sapling as significant to the restoration of the area associated with the original Sycamore Gap tree.
