The existence of the CRDRP is questionable. There are no updates on the homepage since the original posting, no new photos, and the original photos are not unique or do not even make sense (eg, trees in the wrong age class or in a professional nursery). In other words, they could be taken from the web. Most of them show old "celebritiy trees" anyway.

Putting up big name but refusing to name the exact location does not help in making it trustworthy either. All we got to know is the "Sauraton Mountains of North Carolina" and that there is a "Hanging Rock Mountain" and "Moore’s Knob". The approximate region of the project can be derived from fragments found in the somewhat hidden filming locations advert http://www.dawnredwood.org/locations.htm of the website, but nothing project-like can be spotted by google earth.

There is not a single written proof of anyone, maybe visiting the site on special invitation, describing the plantations. Hänks met Jinshuang Ma, but not in the project area, but in Duke Gardens, Durham, NC. When askd directly by email, 2 years ago, Hänks did not provide any meaningful information and just promised to update the photos, which did not happen. He has some dubious background (easy to find online) too.

For all these reasons, i urge anyone interested to verify the CRDRP and maybe consider it abandoned, or in worst case, to be a fake. --Rosetta — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.134.157.71 (talk) 23:47, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I would like to add some photos but am not able to add photos yet. The photos are available under the following name and license

"Metasequoia Glyptostroboides (Dawn Redwood) - Susquehanna University Aug 6 2013 by Joe White is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License."

I have not seen many photos online and these would benefit the community greatly.
