East Potomac Golf Course tree removal halted by federal judge

East Potomac Golf Links tree removal Ana Reyes Trump administration Washington D.C.

A U.S. federal judge has ordered a halt to tree-cutting operations at the East Potomac Golf Links in Washington, D.C., following the removal of hundreds of trees over a single weekend. U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes issued the emergency order after the Trump administration proceeded with the removals despite previous instructions to provide advance notice for significant landscape modifications.

Preservation groups, including the D.C. Preservation League, reported that approximately 529 trees—including mature oaks and maples—were felled during the weekend. The administration stated the removals were part of a 'tree management and cultural landscape rehabilitation project' intended to prepare the municipal course for potential major golf tournaments, a key component of President Trump’s plan to renovate the capital.

During a tense hearing, Judge Reyes criticized the Department of Justice, stating the government had 'lost credibility' due to its failure to provide reasonable notice. The judge extended the halt on further tree removal through October 26 and mandated that the government provide three business days’ written notice before making any further 'irreparable modification' to the historic site.
