This beautiful map by @GorsebushMurals with art by @JackieMorrisArt shows areas of the UK where #LostWords campaigns have given schools copies of this inspiring book. Wouldn’t it be great to do the same for #Surrey’s children? https://t.co/tj6knA9KJS Lots of rewards to claim! 🦋

Oh we do love a conker in Kent. Thanks for being such a strong part of this @NoningtonFarms. So glad we met you through #TheLostWords!

[Lost Words for Surrey @LostWordsSurrey]

Conker is one of the #LostWords, lack of use means it’s amongst 40 nature words removed from a popular children’s dictionary, replaced by words such as hashtag & broadband. Help get #Surrey’s children talking about #nature again, visit https://t.co/tj6knA9KJS to find out more!

[Lost Words Kent @WordsKent]

Good Luck@LostWordsSurrey. You can do it!

Delivering #LostWords books @WordsKent to #Aycliffe community primary school in a special assembly. At the end a little child came and gave me a hug 🤗 #Kent #nature #schools #hugs #farming

[Lost Words Kent @WordsKent]

Your generosity gave us a huge boost and is much appreciated. Lovely to see the books being cherished and in use immediately in so many schools. Thank you for helping make that happen.

[East Peckham PC @EastPeckhamPC]

@EastPeckhamPC was delighted to award £100 to the campaign for each primary school and special school in Kent to receive one of these special books. It's so pleasing to know that the books are being well received both within our Parish and elsewhere
