The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 15 fires within 5 miles of Hickman between 2014 and 2020, burning about 30 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:

• Rocky Fork
• Tilton Crossroads
• Fallsburg
• Long Run (historical)
• Purity
• Rain Rock

Museums hold 1,387 specimens collected within 10 miles of Hickman between 1853 and 1975: 1,328 Animalia, 44 Fungi, 13 Plantae, 2 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by ANGEVINE & SEVER, Adler, K. K., Adler, K. K. & Dennis, D. M. 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.
