Newsletter

The rules behind your screen keep changing. This keeps you current.

Federal environmental review moves constantly. Sackett reshaped Clean Water Act jurisdiction. The CEQ NEPA regulations were rescinded. Agencies keep rewriting their own procedures. This newsletter tracks the changes that actually affect how you screen a project area, in plain language, every two weeks.

Newsletter

Regulatory changes that move screening, every two weeks.

A one-page federal-data checklist, immediately. The core federal layers a defensible screen pulls, the official source for each, and why it belongs in the record. It arrives with your confirmation email.
Regulatory-change explainers. When a rule changes or a court rules, a short note on what changed, which screens it touches, and what the next step is.
Federal-data how-tos. Practical walk-throughs for pulling, projecting, and clipping the datasets behind a screen.
No noise. Two emails a month at most. One-click unsubscribe. Your address is never sold or shared.

Who writes it

Avow is built by a founder with a GIS and environmental background who spent years doing federal environmental review and the data work behind it. The newsletter is the same perspective: practitioner-first, specific, and honest about what a screen does and does not establish. Read more on the About page.
