Bushkill Creek Greenway Master Plan

Bushkill Creek Greenway Master Plan About the Project
Palmer Township is developing a new, community-driven master plan for the Bushkill Creek Greenway — a linear corridor of parks and trails along the Bushkill Creek. The primary goals of this plan are to:

  • Mitigate flooding
  • Update facilities
  • Demonstrate exemplary accessibility
  • Enhance multi-user recreation experience
  • Support trail system changes
  • Protect habitat & enhance resilience
  • Communicate local historic & cultural significance


Palmer Township is leading the plan with Omnes, whose consultant team includes Wildlands Conservancy and AKRF. This multidisciplinary team has expertise in landscape architecture & planning, resiliency, ecological restoration & engineering.

The Township needs your input to make this effort a success and ensure that the plan represents the needs of your community. There are many ways to get involved and share your ideas, concerns, and priorities for the Bushkill Creek Greenway:

  • Attend a public meeting
  • Attend a pop-up event
