The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 68 fires within 5 miles of Jackson (historical) between 2002 and 2020, burning about 102 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:

• Bridgeville
• Carlwick (historical)
• Eastlynd Acres
• Georgetown
• Sonora
• Spring Valley

Every fire recorded in Muskingum County

Museums hold 953 specimens collected within 10 miles of Jackson (historical) between 1873 and 1975: 740 Animalia, 188 Plantae, 15 Fungi, 5 Protozoa, 4 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A.E. Miller, Adams, W., Adams, W. (William), Trautman, M. B. (Milton Bernard) et al. 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.
