Crane brought in to remove historic tree in England that was cut in act of vandalism_我的网站

戏说乾隆

A | LONDON -- A crane on tracks was removing a much-loved tree Thursday from the place near the Roman landmark of Hadrian’s Wall in northeastern England where the sycamore was cut down two weeks ago in an apparent act of vandalism.The National Trust, which seeks to protect England’s heritage and natural landscapes, said the crane will lift the often-photographed and painted tree, which some believe to have been around 300 years old, from where it lies near the delicate and now-damaged wall. Andrew Poad, the site’s general manager for the National Trust, said it was necessary to move the tree “both to preserve the world-famous monument that is Hadrian’s Wall, and to make the site safe again for visitors.”Though the 50-foot (15-meter) tree is too big to move in one piece, experts hope the trunk can be kept in large sections in order to leave future options open on what could be done. The stump, which could generate new shoots, will be kept in place and is currently behind a protective barrier. Seeds have also been collected to see if they could be used to propagate new saplings.“We’ve explored every option for moving the tree and while it isn’t possible to lift it in one go, as the tree is multi-stemmed with a large crown, we have aimed to keep the trunk in as large sections as possible, to give us flexibility on what the tree becomes in future," Poad said.Northumbria Police arrested a 16-year-old boy and a man in his 60s after the tree was felled a fortnight ago. They were released on bail pending further inquiries into what a chief detective described as the “senseless destruction” of the tree.The tree was one of the main landmarks along Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built nearly 2,000 years ago, when Britain was part of the Roman Empire, to guard its northwestern frontier. For generations, walkers have paused to admire and photograph the tree at Sycamore Gap, which was made famous when it appeared in Kevin Costner’s 1991 film “Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves.”The tree, which was cut down near the base of its trunk, could grow again, experts said, though they cautioned that it would never be the same.The National Trust has received thousands of messages about the tree, with advice on what to do with the stump and suggestions of what could be done with the felled tree, including making benches from the wood, a sculpture or souvenirs to sell.There will be a public consultation about what happens next at the site.。　　云南文山8月22日电题：珠江第一港富宁港年内建成云南通江达海再近一步　　作者韩帅南杜潇潇李嘉娴　　一场骤雨过后，云南富宁依然暑气逼人。地处右江上游的富宁港建设现场焊花飞溅、机器轰鸣，工人们将岸桥零件吊装入轨，门机部件在轨道旁焊接。群山环抱中，客运码头已矗立岸边，水域码头、配套建筑错落排布，这座云南规划建设的最大内陆港口，正向着年内建成的目标全力冲刺。　　长久以来，云南坐拥面向南亚东南亚开放的区位优势，却面临着沿边不沿海、通江难达海的困局。

B | 传统水运仅能依托水富港沿长江东下，横跨多省市绕行上海出海，航程冗长。　　富宁港地处文山州富宁县剥隘镇，正是破解这一发展困局的关键抓手。其素有“珠江第一港”之称，既是云南主动融入粤港澳大湾区、加强与广西北部湾经济区产业对接协作的前沿枢纽，更是串联粤港澳大湾区经云南通往缅甸、衔接印度洋陆海联运大通道的关键节点。

C | 　　“富宁港建成后，将彻底改变云南货物只能东线出海的单一格局，构筑起一条高效便捷的全新江海联运主干通道。”云南交投富宁港投资建设有限公司党支部书记、董事长和永生告诉记者。　　右江—珠江水运通道本是云南水运规划的“两出省”水运通道之一，早年因百色水利枢纽通航设施缺失导致航道断航，富宁港规划也搁置数十年。　　随着西部陆海新通道上升为国家战略，百色水利枢纽通航设施、富宁港、右江百色库区(云南段)高等级航道三大工程同步启动建设。　　伴随着2026年平陆运河全线通水通航，富宁港一阶段主体完工，2027年百色水利枢纽通航设施试通航，富宁港—右江—平陆运河千吨级水运通道全线打通，云南通江达海的多年愿景终成现实。

D | 　　届时，千吨级船舶从富宁港起航，沿右江而下，经由百色水利枢纽通航设施，再驶入平陆运河，便可直抵北部湾海港，打通珠江水系与北部湾之间的水路通道。相较传统长江出海航线，新通道航程大幅缩短，物流周转效率显著提升。　　“现在项目已经进入建设收尾的关键冲刺期。”云南交投富宁港投资建设有限公司工程合同管理部部长王开宇站在码头现场介绍，目前码头水工桩基已全部完工，集装箱码头上部结构施工完毕，陆域形成工程基本收尾；疏港公路主线路基完成95%，百标隧道实现全线贯通。　　眼下施工重心集中在疏港公路路面铺筑、港池与护岸开挖、港机设备安装调试、外接电力配套等关键节点，各项工序压茬推进，确保年内完成建设任务。　　在和永生看来，富宁港不只是一座港口码头，更是云南“转身向海”的战略支点。港口立足服务绿色铝产业链，着力打造承接产业转移的供应链组织中枢。
