The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 40 fires within 5 miles of Lenox Station between 2002 and 2020, burning about 23 acres in total. 3 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:

• Lenox Dale
• Camp Mah-Kee-Nac
• East Lee
• Lee
• Lenox
• Tanglewood

Every fire recorded in Berkshire County

Museums hold 2,160 specimens collected within 10 miles of Lenox Station between 1833 and 1975: 1,119 Animalia, 696 Plantae, 337 Fungi, 4 Unrecorded, 2 Chromista, 2 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A W Evans, A. E. Treat, A. H. Mead 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.
