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.
On Friday, Jan. 8, from 11 a.m. to noon, Baldwin will share stories and lessons in natural history from his Swedish journey, taking those taking part on a virtual tour of “The Nature of Sweden,” a First Friday presentation of Audubon Community Nature Center.
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.
