## Resource

The legendary Major Oak in Sherwood Forest, believed to be over 1,200 years old and tied to Robin Hood’s tales, has died—likely due to centuries of visitor foot traffic compacting its soil, starving its roots, and combined with climate stress. Once supported by cables to prevent collapse, this ancient giant now stands as a silent monument to myth and ecology, its legacy enduring in stories and the forest’s heart.
