The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 22 fires within 5 miles of Canaanville between 2006 and 2020, burning about 44 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:

• Stringtown
• New England
• Amesville
• Armadale
• Hickory Hills
• Kilvert

Museums hold 1,137 specimens collected within 10 miles of Canaanville between 1831 and 1975: 955 Animalia, 136 Plantae, 37 Fungi, 4 Protozoa, 3 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista, 1 Bacteria. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. D. Selby, A. H. Blickle, A.D. Selby 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.
