The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of North Benton between 2019 and 2019, burning about 2 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.

• Beloit
• Boswell (historical)
• Bunker Hill

Museums hold 250 specimens collected within 10 miles of North Benton between 1883 and 1975: 146 Animalia, 80 Plantae, 24 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Anderson, B., Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.), B. J. Crandall 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.
