Swaner gifted itself to USU in 2010 and Tauber has been involved in a variety of development efforts there, all in support of the center’s programs and mission. The organization preserves and actively restores a 1,200 acre nature preserve to enhance water quality and wildlife habitat, while providing a large number of educational opportunities for the community.
