It was apparently very windy during the night when it was felled, so it is likely that the chips were distributed far and wide by the wind.

I still feel that there is more to this than has yet become pubic. The white paint indicating the cut line, the fact that the youth arrested is 16 (an age where traditionally bone idleness dominates lifestyle), the fact that it meant carrying a reasonable-sized chainsaw some distance at night, the relative skill with which the deed was done, and the fact that crime appears to have been executed by a minor, all makes me think this was carefully planned by an adult with an agenda. No doubt time will tell.

It's better than I'd expect from a 16yo working at night in the dark during a storm. I've seen many "professionals" whose cuts under favourable conditions are worse.

I'd be really surprised if the 16yo was really on the saw.

Sad though it is, we must remember that the reason there was only one tree there is that humans felled the rest. GB was once covered in forests but not now.
BTW Don't plant the seeds that were collected because I'm sycamore trees!

It has been observed before that all the multi-million pound projects currently searching for intelligent life are pointed away from earth.

The current trending rumour is that the 60yo had an axe to grind with the NT.

If so, quite how he thought this would improve his life is hard to fathom.

Apparently Google Maps has already updated "Sycamore Gap" to "Sycamore Stump". If true, that was quick.
