Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 126 fires within 5 miles of Los Trancos Woods between 1992 and 2019, burning about 586 acres in total. 2 started naturally. 3 were recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Cadillac
• Haile
• Jonesville
• Arno
• Pine Hill Estates
• Burnetts Lake

Every fire recorded in Alachua County

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 8,541 specimens collected within 10 miles of Los Trancos Woods between 1806 and 1975: 3,347 Fungi, 3,306 Animalia, 1,004 Protozoa, 767 Plantae, 70 Unrecorded, 46 Chromista, 1 Bacteria. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by ?, A CARR, A Chable & W McLane and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
