LinkLinks DCist: D.C. Failing At Tree Protection, Report Card Says By Editor On Apr 26, 2023 Last updated Apr 26, 2023 11 Share Lately D.C. has been on a tree-planting binge, planting more than 12 thousand new trees across the city in 2022. But all that frenetic shoveling and staking and watering is barely keeping pace with the loss of mature trees, many of which are being cut down to make way for development.
