The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of Bantam between 2002 and 2002, burning about 1 acres in total. None 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:

• Amelia
• Bethel
• Concord
• Elk Lick

Museums hold 988 specimens collected within 10 miles of Bantam between 1866 and 1975: 760 Animalia, 175 Fungi, 41 Plantae, 11 Protozoa, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A JOHN, A JOHN AND R KNOTTS, A JOHN AND T RITTER 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.
