Best Answer

The prison facilities of Alcatraz were damaged by Native Americans, who took over the facility for a time between 1969 and 1971. Additionally, the planting of non-native species on the island has resulted in changes to the flora. Ecological reclamation efforts are ongoing, and a lot of gum trees were cut down and removed.
