Every child should have the right to connect with nature. To go exploring, sploshing, climbing, and rolling in the outdoors, creating memories that’ll last a lifetime.
So says the National Trust, and I agree with them. They have picked up the furore about the nature words disappearing from dictionaries. The latest edition of their magazine has a brilliant article by Robert MacFarlane [I mentioned him here] and on the NT website is a link to this excellent "Wild Words" rap from the Wild Network. I am not really into rapping - but I think this guy gets a load of excellent words into his brief video.
Clever and so true!
