This urban wildlife preserve hosts numerous animal and plant species not otherwise found in an urban environment. It was listed on the state and the federal registers of historic places in 2012.

The Alliance received the Ted Conrad “Preservationist of the Year” Award in 2005.Plans to make changes to the wildlife area by the city have been met with resistance from preservationists.
