The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 19 fires within 5 miles of South Delta between 2007 and 2020, burning about 26 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:

• Camelot South
• Plattston (historical)
• Maplewood Park
• Peaceful Valley
• Raker Corners
• Brailey

Museums hold 379 specimens collected within 10 miles of South Delta between 1894 and 1975: 357 Animalia, 14 Plantae, 8 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Conan J. Taylor, DDT, Davis, H.A.; Davis, T. 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.
