The UK restaurant chain Toby Carvery has agreed to pay for the planting of a new orchard.

英国连锁餐厅托比烤肉店已同意支付种植新果园的费用。

This decision came after the company used a chainsaw to cut down a 500-year-old oak tree without permission.

这项决定是在该公司未经许可使用电锯砍倒一棵有500年树龄的橡树后做出的。

The ancient tree stood next to a Toby Carvery car park in Whitewebbs Park, Enfield, north London.

这棵古树位于伦敦北部恩菲尔德怀特韦伯斯公园的一家托比烤肉店停车场旁边。

The incident happened in April last year and caused widespread public outrage across the country.

这起事件发生在去年四月，并在全国范围内引发了广泛的公众愤怒。

Many people were angry because the tree had been part of the local environment for centuries.

许多人感到愤怒，因为这棵树几个世纪以来一直是当地环境的一部分。

The issue was even discussed in parliament, which shows how seriously people took the environmental damage.

这个问题甚至在议会中被讨论过，这显示了人们多么严肃地看待环境破坏。

Enfield council, which owns the land, started legal action against the restaurant chain earlier this year.

拥有该土地的恩菲尔德议会于今年早些时候对该连锁餐厅采取了法律行动。

The council described the cutting as a reckless act that caused huge damage to the ancient tree.

恩菲尔德议会将这次砍伐描述为一种鲁莽的行为，对这棵古树造成了巨大的损害。

Officials said the chainsaw work had significantly reduced the tree's expected lifespan.

In a joint statement, the company sincerely apologised for the upset that the felling had caused.

Mitchells and Butler Retail has always said that cutting the tree was necessary for safety reasons because the oak was dying.
