EDGI’s website monitoring team is monitoring thousands of federal government webpages to track changes under the Trump administration. The Federal Environmental Web Tracker makes these changes publicly available and searchable. Specifically, the Tracker is a collection of documented changes to environment-related federal webpages that EDGI’s team deems noteworthy. It will be updated weekly.

EDGI’s blogs and reports analyze changes documented in this dataset.
