Los árboles tuvieron un impacto negativo en muchas de las plantas y animales autóctonos. Las plantas y animales autóctonos son los que viven en un lugar en forma natural, sin el cuidado de las personas. Cuando ingresan al área plantas y animales extraños, pueden desplazar la vida silvestre que allí se encuentra. El eucalipto goma azul y el ciprés de Monterrey son dos especies de árboles no autóctonas que el ejército plantó en el Presidio.
