OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A public park has opened in Omaha that will create a sanctuary for pollinators such as bees and birds.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that the Pacific Preserve was dedicated and opened for public use Wednesday. The 20 acres (8 hectares) bordering Papillion Creek were gifted to the city by residents Judy and Jim Wigton.

Omaha Parks and Recreation Director Brook Bench says the nature reserve is unlike other parks in the city. The scenic walking trail is off-limits to bikes and pets.

Bench says the city wants to preserve nature and wildlife in the area while making the space a peaceful experience for everyone.

Mark Anderson lives less than a mile away from Pacific Preserve. He says the space is unique because it’s bent toward sustaining wildlife and creating a serene space.
