The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 344 fires within 5 miles of Winslow Estates between 2015 and 2020, burning about 128 acres in total. 3 started naturally. 5 were 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:

• Drumlin Farms
• Northville
• Rye Hill
• Auburnville
• Beaver
• Brockton

Museums hold 713 specimens collected within 10 miles of Winslow Estates between 1836 and 1975: 307 Plantae, 245 Fungi, 147 Animalia, 12 Protozoa, 2 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. A. Eaton, A. B. Seymour, A. Clark 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.

Every working recorded in Plymouth County

The eight closest, with where each one stands in the county. Distances are straight-line, computed from the Geographic Names Information System coordinates.

Matched on this settlement's Geographic Names Information System number rather than its name, so it cannot be a different place of the same name in another state.

This settlement is recorded in the Geographic Names Information System as feature 1977159.
