Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 228 fires within 5 miles of Feura Bush between 2000 and 2020, burning about 238 acres in total. 25 started naturally. 25 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:

• Callanans Corners
• Spawn Hollow

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 7,421 specimens collected within 10 miles of Feura Bush between 1760 and 1975: 4,357 Fungi, 2,219 Animalia, 654 Plantae, 86 Protozoa, 61 Chromista, 42 Unrecorded, 2 Bacteria. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A C. Frederick, A C. Frederick, A C. Frederick, A. A. Heller 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.
