The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 5 fires within 5 miles of Willow Beach between 2010 and 2020, burning about 73 acres in total. 2 started naturally. 1 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:

• Alexis Addition
• Boulevard
• Hallett
• Northgate

Museums hold 1,491 specimens collected within 10 miles of Willow Beach between 1863 and 1975: 1,279 Animalia, 157 Fungi, 44 Plantae, 6 Protozoa, 3 Chromista, 2 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by AS Hazzard & party, Aborn, R., Anson A. Hinkley 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.
