The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 28 fires within 5 miles of Welcome between 2004 and 2020, burning about 42 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:

• Paint Valley
• Glenmont
• Nashville
• Fort Fizzle
• Killbuck
• Miley Crossroads

Museums hold 330 specimens collected within 10 miles of Welcome between 1890 and 1974: 282 Animalia, 44 Plantae, 4 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. D. Selby, C F WALKER, C. Triplehorn 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.
