MONROE - The Green Rock Audubon Society will meet 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 27, in the Monroe Public Library. John Bauman, a resident of Anchorage, Alaska and a brother of board member Barb Gelbach, will talk about life in Alaska and his wilderness travels.
The public is welcome to come learn about native and environmental issues that are unique to the Great Northland and how resource extraction and global warming are altering the Arctic ecosystem.
Bauman has always sought a life of wilderness adventure. A self-employed carpenter in Anchorage, Bauman left Wisconsin in 1980 and landed in Alaska in order to explore the glaciers, rivers, mountains and ocean of this wilderness area.
He has sea kayaked, paddling more than a thousand miles along the Aleutian Islands, circumnavigating Iceland in the North Atlantic Ocean, Spitzbergen in the Arctic Ocean and Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean.
He successfully completed the first winter ascent of Mt. Logan, the second highest peak in North America.
