Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 2 fires within 5 miles of Bushnell in 2020, burning about 1 acre in total. None started naturally. None 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:

• Farnham
• Gageville

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 749 specimens collected within 10 miles of Bushnell between 1872 and 1975: 702 Animalia, 45 Plantae, 2 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Woolman, Allen, T.F., Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.) 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.
