The National Park Service announced plans to begin a seawall project that will require the removal of 140 cherry trees.
The cherry blossoms lining the National Mall in Washington hit “peak bloom” on Sunday, bringing forth a bright and early display of spring, the National Park Service announced.
The National Park Service announced plans last week to begin a three-year restoration project of the seawalls around the Tidal Basin and Potomac River. Preparations for the reconstruction will involve removing around 140 of the beloved Japanese cherry trees between the Thomas Jefferson Memorial and the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial.
In all, 300 trees in the rehabilitation zone will be removed. However, during the completion of the project, 455 trees, including 274 cherry trees, will be replanted in the area, the agency said.
