Three and a half years ago, naturalist and Jamestown native Mark Baldwin moved to the shores of Malaren, Sweden’s third-largest freshwater lake, near Stockholm, Sweden.
He has been exploring the forests and fields of the area ever since.

Baldwin spent his early years and most of his career in Jamestown. He now teaches science in an urban middle school and spends as much time as possible with his wife Ardy and their family, enjoying the forest near their home.

JAMESTOWN Children ages 4 to 12 are invited to take a break from the holiday busyness and come to Audubon Community Nature Center for a day or exploration, fun, and learning.
Audubon is offering two Holiday Camp opportunities, on Tuesday, Dec. 29, and Thursday, Dec. 31, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Children can explore winter habitats, play in the snow, perhaps find a “skating” pond, and visit with their friends. They will learn about nature and all the cool activity that occurs during the snowier months of the year.
Children will be in age groups for all activities, including lunch.
The program is primarily outdoors. Parents are asked to pack extra clothes, mittens, shoes, and outdoor gear, as well as a snack, lunch, water bottle, and a face covering.
