+# Tree Tracker Documentation
+
+## Purpose 
+This README has been created to document how the "Tree Tracker" works.
+
+## Contact
+For inquiries regarding this project, please contact **Annabel Gregg** at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) via email: [Annabel Gregg](mailto:Annabel.gregg@dec.ny.gov).
+
+## Components
+The Tree Tracker is composed of several ArcGIS applications. The ***NYSDEC_PUB*** user is the owner of all ArcGIS Online (AGOL) items, with some items shared with the ***Tree Tracker*** AGOL group. These items include:
+
+### Public Web Page
+DEC has a [webpage](https://dec.ny.gov/nature/forests-trees/climate-change/25-million-trees) dedicated to this initiative. The breadcrumb navigation is: **Home** > **Nature** > **Forests** > **Forests and Climate Change** > **25 Million Trees By 2033**. This page is maintained by DEC.
+
+### Public Survey
+The Public Survey is accessible via the action button on the Public webpage.
+
+### Partner Survey 
+The partner Survey is open and the link is only shared with DEC partners. The pupose is to allow partner groups to  report large plantings by uploading a formatted spreadsheet with thier data. There is currently no mechinism to upload these. Currently, we enter or upload these manually.
+
+### ArcGIS Dashboard
+The Dashboard is embedded in the Public Web Page. There is also a [link](https://nysdec.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/2dd7c766f60143d6a197fd75442be20c) in the text of the page that opens in a new window.
+
+> 💡 **Note**: The responsive design may not always render correctly, causing text to truncate. Refreshing the page can resolve this issue.
