We drove through the Hickory Ridge and Fork Ridge areas of Houston South to see where management activity has begun. Th primary areas were around Trail 3 in Hickory Ridge with the trail closure and burning postings. The planned clear cut of the pines in these areas reside above streams and beautiful camping sites nestled in the trees. On the east side of Salt Creek is the Fork Ridge area and posting for burning was seen off of Buffalo Pike near the Thompson Cemetery.
