The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 23 fires within 5 miles of Valley Junction between 2004 and 2020, burning about 71 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:

• Zoarville
• Zoar
• Dutchtown

Museums hold 482 specimens collected within 10 miles of Valley Junction between 1851 and 1973: 381 Animalia, 87 Plantae, 13 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A W Cusick, A. Cibula, A. Cobula 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.
