The Major Oak in England’s Sherwood Forest, famously associated with the legend of Robin Hood, was declared dead in June 2026 after failing to produce leaves that spring.
Estimated to be around 1,000 years old, it will remain in the forest as a natural monument, continuing to provide habitat for wildlife even in death.
