Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 23 fires within 5 miles of Grove between 1994 and 2020, burning about 75 acres in total. 1 started naturally. 1 was 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:

• Swain
• Canaseraga
• Garwoods
• Gas Spring
• Burns
• North Almond

Every fire recorded in Allegany County

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 48 specimens collected within 10 miles of Grove between 1850 and 1970: 35 Animalia, 10 Plantae, 1 Unrecorded, 1 Fungi, 1 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by BEAUMONT, J, BUSACK, STEPHEN D AND L D BUSACK, C.F. Cook 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.
