MONROE - A general Green-Rock Audubon Society membership meeting is set for 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 23 at the Monroe Public Library, 925 16th Ave.
The membership meeting will feature Monroe native John Bauman presenting a slideshow on his travels in Australia and Tasmania.
Bauman has scaled the 3,000-foot granite walls of Yosemite's El Capitan, ascended the Northwest Buttress of Mt. McKinley and successfully completed the first winter ascent of Mt. Logan, the second highest peak in North America. He has sea kayaked throughout the world, which includes paddling more than 1,000 miles along the Aleutian Islands, circumnavigating Spitzbergen in the Arctic Ocean and circumnavigating Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean.
A self-employed carpenter in Anchorage, John left Wisconsin in 1980 and landed in Alaska in order to explore the wilderness.
In the past, Bauman has presented programs of outdoor explorations of Alaska and other natural history trips at the Monroe Public Library. He is a photographer and his programs always include photos of local wildlife.
The program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
More information is available by calling Tom O'Brien at (608) 882-5698.
