The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 16 fires within 5 miles of Nankin between 2019 and 2020, burning about 53 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:

• Ashland
• Bailey Lake
• Savannah
• England
• Redhaw
• Albion

Museums hold 305 specimens collected within 10 miles of Nankin between 1846 and 1973: 265 Animalia, 33 Plantae, 7 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. S. Percival, Ashcroft, G.B.; O., Berea, Auten 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.
