"Donald Trump Says He’s an Environmentalist; Others Beg To Differ"

"Call them Trump’s stumps.

Last spring and summer, workers at Trump National Golf Club in Loudoun County (VA) chopped down more than 400 trees along the Potomac River so their golfers could have a better view of the water.

Eight months later, the fate of the mile-long stretch of shoreline — where migratory birds once nested and bald eagles perched to fish — remains a source of conflict among the Trump Organization, local officials and environmentalists, who are dickering over how to stabilize the riverbank and what to do with the hundreds of stumps left behind."

Annie Gowen reports for the Washington Post May 14, 2011.
