When you walk through the game world, you are walking through a digital representation of the actual property.

Everything you see in game is based on a real-world detection from a trail camera, nest box, or iNaturalist observation.

You can directly help fund conservation work by sponsoring space on the map. Every square comes with tokens that you can allocate to specific projects or use to buy in-game stickers and decorations.

Get to know the people that do the real work and follow the property's actual stewardship — invasive pulls, plantings, habitat work — as streams and videos from the land itself.

The game teaches real identification: work through an interactive ID key — leaf shape, growth habit, field marks. What you learn in the game helps teach identification techniques that you can use when you are actually in the field.

Every species you observe and identify becomes a card in your digital field journal — a shareable, growing record of what lives on the land you help protect.

Other players are walking the same land — leave a note in the guestbook, wave hello, visit the spaces they've made their own, and help each other identify what the cameras caught.

squarefoot.earth is a platform — each new conservation property plugs in as a new map, like an expansion pack. Our goal is a global network of conservation properties plugged in, so people everywhere can watch, learn, and contribute. We are starting with conservation districts, land trusts, and preserves — a new channel for fundraising, engagement, and education.
