The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of Lansdowne between 2007 and 2007, burning about 0 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:

• Albany Park
• Bexley
• Big Walnut (historical)
• Blendon Corner
• Clinton
• Cobblestone At The Preserve

Museums hold 2,425 specimens collected within 10 miles of Lansdowne between 1804 and 1975: 2,191 Animalia, 184 Plantae, 50 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A C Whitney, A. J. Basinger, A. J. Penniman 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.
