Share a redwood lead

A place name, rough location, and a few useful notes are enough to start. Photos and extra detail help, but they are optional.

Step 1 of 4 Basics

01 Start with what you know

Name the place, say where it is, and add the notes that would help someone check it with confidence.

Contribution type

Choose the closest fit. You can leave uncertain details blank.

Place name *

Existing Redwood Finder place, if any

Written location *

What should reviewers know? *

You do not need perfect species names, polished copy, or exact measurements.

02 Set the place

Search for the place, car park, or entrance. You can also paste decimal coordinates or a map link, then widen the radius if the report covers a grove, estate, or uncertain spot.

Find the place on the map

Select a result, paste coordinates such as 51.605, -2.231, click the satellite map, or drag the pin to refine the spot.

Satellite location picker 100 m radius

Map loading is optional. Manual coordinate fields are below, and the written location works without the map.

No map pin set yet.

How precise is the spot?

100 m

Use a small radius for a single tree, wider for a grove, estate, or uncertain report.

Manual coordinates, no map needed

Latitude and longitude are optional. Use decimal coordinates if you know them, or leave both blank and rely on the written location.

04 Photos and send

Add photos if you have them. Phone originals are prepared on this device before upload so review stays quick and consistent.

Choose photos

Up to 24 photos. Most phone and camera images work. Each upload must finish under 2 MB, and the whole request must stay under about 50 MB. Drafts remember photo notes and rights choices, but browsers cannot restore the selected files after a reload.

No photos selected.

Preparing photos...

Photo notes or caption

I took these photos or have permission to share them. I allow Redwood Finder to store, display, resize, crop, and use them on Redwood Finder pages, embeds, feeds, and related project materials. I understand I can request removal later.
