The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 15 fires within 5 miles of Wattsville between 2005 and 2020, burning about 27 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.

• Mechanicstown
• Scroggsfield

Museums hold 288 specimens collected within 10 miles of Wattsville between 1896 and 1975: 187 Animalia, 98 Plantae, 3 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A.W. Cusick, Allen, E. J., Ash, G. (Gail), Buchanan, F. W. (Forrest W.) & Trautman, M. B. (Milton Bernard) 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.
