The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 8 fires within 5 miles of Metz between 1993 and 2005, burning about 6 acres in total. 2 started naturally. 1 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:

• Highland Springs
• Chittendens Corners
• Darrowville
• East Steels Corners
• Hudson
• Iron Bridge (historical)

Museums hold 892 specimens collected within 10 miles of Metz between 1867 and 1975: 787 Animalia, 57 Plantae, 47 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by (no collector listed), A. Black, A. Hall 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.
