The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 13 fires within 5 miles of Locks Village between 2006 and 2020, burning about 62 acres in total. 1 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:

• Dudleyville
• Moores Corner
• Shutesbury
• South Wendell
• Morse Village
• New Salem

Museums hold 8,196 specimens collected within 10 miles of Locks Village between 1781 and 1975: 3,926 Animalia, 2,041 Fungi, 1,914 Plantae, 122 Chromista, 120 Unrecorded, 73 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Allen, A. B. Seymour, A. Buckman 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.
