This Field Maps application is designed to support arborists, developers, and surveyors in collecting detailed, location-based tree data directly in the field. It captures key attributes such as species, health, risk level, canopy spread, and recommended action—creating a structured dataset that can be used for site planning and decision-making.

By combining mobile data collection with GIS, the tool enables real-time documentation of tree conditions, helping teams assess which trees should be preserved, pruned, or removed. The result is a more efficient workflow and a clearer understanding of ecological and development constraints on-site.

This StoryMap examines broadband access across Washington State, combining survey data, infrastructure mapping, and spatial analysis to understand where high-speed internet is available and where critical gaps remain. It highlights the divide between urban and rural communities, showing how access, cost, and infrastructure vary across regions.

By integrating community survey responses with datasets such as speed tests, census data, and federal broadband investments, the project reveals the disconnect between lived experience and officially reported coverage. In some cases, households located just miles apart experience vastly different levels of connectivity, underscoring the importance of more precise, community-informed planning.
