The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 40 fires within 5 miles of Wapping between 2002 and 2020, burning about 43 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:

• North Sunderland
• West Deerfield
• Deerfield
• Mill River
• Montague
• South Deerfield

Museums hold 6,264 specimens collected within 10 miles of Wapping between 1822 and 1975: 3,258 Animalia, 1,759 Plantae, 1,093 Fungi, 115 Unrecorded, 33 Protozoa, 6 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A S Pease, A V Osmun, A. C. Smith 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.
