Data, licensing & removals
Among the Redwoods is a free, non-commercial project. We build the map from open data, attribute every source, and remove anything on request.
What we are
A free, non-commercial project
Among the Redwoods is a free, non-commercial project — no ads, no paywall, nothing monetised. It is not a company, charity, or organisation. We build the map from open data, write our own descriptions, attribute every source, and remove anything on request.
Because our use is non-commercial, we can responsibly use openly-licensed material (including some non-commercial licences) with attribution — never anything marked no-derivatives or all-rights-reserved.

Access and place boundaries — we derive facts, not a copy of the database.
Official sites
Facts only
Operator pages (National Trust, RHS, Forestry England, RBGE, gardens) for visiting details — linked, never copied.
We treat facts — that a place exists, its species, its location, its access — as free to use, and never republish third-party prose or photos unless they are openly licensed. Photos appear only when their licence allows, with the photographer and licence credited on the image.
Removals
Request a removal
If you are a place owner, photographer, or rights-holder and want something removed — a photo, a source, a whole place, or your own contribution — email us and we will take it down cleanly and reversibly, along with everything derived from it. Every datum records where it came from, so removal is precise and quick.
