Bushkill Township has placed a burn ban into effect immediately from 11:00am on March 25th 2024 until further notice. This ban is in effect due to the PA DCNR Forestry service predictions with dry undergrowth and fine fuels along with low relative humidity levels. Even with the recent rains, the ground is moist but the fine fuels and brush are dry and can easily burn leading to fast-spreading wildfires. Camp fires in a camp fire ring are permitted as long as you have a garden hose nearby to quickly extinguish any small fires.
