What's New in Native: March 2026
Poplar 4.0: Invite Friends, Share Your Impact, and Grow the Movement
We're always evolving to try and make it easier and more rewarding for you to take action for nature. Every update we release is designed to help individuals, organisations, and nature projects connect more meaningfully and this one is all about bringing more people into the fold.
With Poplar 4.0, we're putting the power of community front and centre. Because when it comes to protecting nature, the more people involved, the bigger the impact.
Introducing Referrals: Invite Friends, Get a Free Square
We believe the best way to grow a movement is through the people already in it. That's why we're launching our brand-new Referral Programme.
Here's how it works:
- Invite a friend or colleague to join Native Squared via email or using your unique referral link.
- If they sign up and purchase 2 Squares, we'll protect an additional Square for free!
It's that simple. You spread the word, your friend takes action, and nature gets an extra win. Whether you're sharing with a colleague who's passionate about sustainability or a friend who's been meaning to do something positive for the planet, every referral has the potential to create real, measurable impact.
You'll find your referral link in your dashboard so start sharing today and help us grow the community one Square at a time.
Share to Social: Show the World Your Impact
Taking action for nature is something worth shouting about. With our new Share to Social feature, you can now share your latest activity directly to your social media accounts whenever you protect Squares.
Whether it's a first purchase or your latest contribution, you can showcase your impact to your connections and followers, to inspire others to get involved. It's a simple, powerful way to:
- Celebrate your commitment to protecting nature
- Inspire your network to take action
- Build a visible track record of positive impact
Look for the share option after your next purchase and let your community see the difference you're making!
Coming Soon
We're not slowing down. Here's a glimpse of what's on the horizon:
- Enhanced Project Pages: We're building out richer, data-driven project pages that will give every project the space and tools to fully showcase their impact, from measurable outcomes to the stories behind them. Think transparent analytics, ecology reports, progress updates, and projections across carbon, biodiversity, and social impact.
- Map Upgrades: Our interactive map is getting a refresh, making it even easier to explore projects, see where your Squares and the ones you’ve gifted, and discover new projects to support.
Thank You for Growing with Us
Every update we ship, from major new features to subtle refinements is driven by your feedback and passion for protecting nature. Poplar 4.0 is all about sharing that passion, inviting others to join, and celebrating the real-world impact you’re making.
We can’t wait to see the Squares you protect and the stories you share. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, thank you for being part of the Native community.
With appreciation,
The Native Squared Team
