The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 44 fires within 5 miles of Camp Mohawk between 2008 and 2020, burning about 158 acres 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:

• Farnams
• Greylock Estates
• Berkshire
• Cheshire
• Town Crest Village
• Arnoldville

Museums hold 922 specimens collected within 10 miles of Camp Mohawk between 1835 and 1975: 459 Plantae, 257 Animalia, 200 Fungi, 6 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A K Harrison, A Schwartz, A. K. Harrison 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.
