Daniel Michael Graham

Daniel Michael Graham, 39, from Carlisle, is one of the two men accused of criminal damage for allegedly chopping down the famous Sycamore Gap tree in Northumberland. The tree, which had stood for over a century and was a beloved landmark, was felled on September 27, 2023, during a calculated act that prosecutors described as a 'moronic mission.' Graham and his co-accused, Adam Carruthers, reportedly filmed the incident and kept a wedge of wood from the tree as a trophy, showcasing a lack of remorse for their actions.
