SWISS VALLEY NATURE PRESERVE. Popular natural area southwest of Dubuque. Owned by the Dubuque County Conservation Board, the Preserve's Nature Center was formally dedicated on April 25, 1976. A restored barn, the Center offers displays of geological formations along with plant and animal life found in the area. Spacious rooms provide adequate accommodations for school classes which regularly use the area for outdoor education. See: Bob WALTON
