National Park Service removes 500+ trees from Trump-backed golf course renovation

The National Park Service is proceeding with a plan to remove over 500 trees from the East Potomac Golf Links, a historic course near Washington D.C. This action is part of a renovation project initiated by the Trump administration to transform the course into a championship-level venue capable of hosting major golf tournaments. While the park service states that only trees not contributing to the historic landscape will be removed and healthy, contributing trees will be preserved, some local groups and residents fear the changes will alter the course's character and reduce public access.
