Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 34 fires within 5 miles of Buckingham between 2009 and 2020, burning about 40 acres in total. None started naturally. 2 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:

• Drakes
• Congo
• Corning
• Hamburg (historical)
• Hemlock
• Millertown

Every fire recorded in Perry County

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 93 specimens collected within 10 miles of Buckingham between 1890 and 1973: 66 Animalia, 14 Plantae, 9 Fungi, 4 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Coker W. C., Conan J. Taylor, Cooke, W. B.; Cooke, V. G. 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.
