The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 12 fires within 5 miles of Buckhorn (historical) between 2012 and 2020, burning about 22 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:

• Dexter
• Martinsburg (historical)
• Carpenter
• Dyesville
• Point Rock
• Hanesville

Every fire recorded in Meigs County

Museums hold 231 specimens collected within 10 miles of Buckhorn (historical) between 1840 and 1973: 177 Animalia, 50 Plantae, 4 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by C. H. Jones, Clark, Joseph; Riddell, John Leonard, Collector unspecified 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.
