Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 6 fires within 5 miles of North Liberty between 2004 and 2020, burning about 4 acres in total. 1 started naturally. 3 were 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:

• Berger
• Nunda
• College Hill
• Amity
• Four Corners
• Jelloway

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 221 specimens collected within 10 miles of North Liberty between 1837 and 1974: 193 Animalia, 20 Fungi, 7 Plantae, 1 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Hall, A. P. Morgan, Andriessen, H. 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.
