2026 BIP Golf Outing
The 2026 Golf Outing has come and gone, and there are a lot of grateful thanks to be given to our golfers, sponsors, and volunteers, who are recognized below. A special thanks goes out to BIP members Deb & Jeff Young the outing co-chairs, who, through their hard work, made this outing a great success.
The money raised will be used to install safety crossing lights at the intersection of the Bushkill Bike/Walking Path and Northwood Ave. at Penn Pump Park. Click the button below to view a short outing video produced by ArtVideo Productions.
Supporting Cleaner, Safer Trails: New Dog Waste Station at Schoneck Creek
The BIP of Palmer has installed another dog waste station at the trailhead of the Schoneck Creek bike path off Corriere Road. This is the 11th dog waste station installed by the BIP along the multi-use paths at the Lehigh River, Schoneck, and Bushkill Creeks. The BIP also contributes 50% of the cost of yearly maintenance and replenishment of waste bags.
Dog waste stations along Palmer Township bike paths are essential for public health, environmental protection, and community enjoyment; providing convenient disposal options, reducing the spread of harmful bacteria and parasites, preventing nutrient-rich pet waste from contaminating stormwater and local waterways, while keeping paths clean and safe for cyclists, pedestrians, and children. The visible, well-maintained stations also encourage responsible pet ownership and demonstrate municipal commitment to shared public spaces, which can improve user experience and foster neighborhood pride in a cleaner, more welcoming trail network.

BIP Donates to the Miracle League of Northampton County
At the BIP Awards Banquet, BIP member and director of the Palmer 5k race and walk Jeff Kicska, made a very generous donation to BJ Metz, president of the Miracle League of Northampton County. Since the beginning of the Palmer 5K, fourteen years ago the BIP has donated the proceeds of this event to MLNC. The players and members of the Board of Directors very much appreciate the continued support of the BIP.
