The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 13 fires within 5 miles of Ferncliff (historical) between 2013 and 2020, burning about 70 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:

• Adamsville
• Marquand Mills
• Bloomfield
• Otsego
• Spencer
• Adams Mills

Every fire recorded in Muskingum County

Museums hold 557 specimens collected within 10 miles of Ferncliff (historical) between 1866 and 1975: 315 Plantae, 234 Animalia, 7 Fungi, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Spreitzer, Adams, W., Adams, W. (William), Trautman, M. B. (Milton Bernard) et al. 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.
