Something to learn

Exploring The Lost Words

As we are allowed to spend more time outdoors, it is time to reconnect with some of the words in nature we have forgotten.

We created An Explorer's Guide to accompany Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris's beautiful book The Lost Words, helping you get the most out of it.

Find the guide and activities on our website.

Something to watch
