Area of Concern
AnonymousDrainage issue: House pumps out above average amount of water that flows downhill on the east side of Schoeneck. A house or two a little down the hill more on west side do the same. The amount of water is gross in general because it pools in places and doesn’t drain well, but in the winter it is a hazard because it freezes over and the road is quite narrow at that portion (and people speed).

AnonymousBallas Meadow Preserve is a community asset because it is a natural sanctuary for wildlife and humans. Migrating birds, small mammals, and insects are frequently seen using the native wildflower meadow. The walking trail is a natural escape for visitors.
AnonymousThe Jacobsburg Historical Society is a community asset because it represents a very significant aspect of both early industrial development and firearms production (Pennsylvania Longrifle), locally, as well as for Pennsylvania and the United States. The site provides National Park Service quality exhibits and the Society provides numerous programs and events, annually, to engage and educate community members and visitors.
AnonymousSobers Run is an Exceptional Value stream (per Chapter 93, Title 25, PA Code) and provides clean cool water that supports a wild trout fishery with natural reproduction by trout species, including native brook trout. The 10-square mile watershed area begins along the Appalachian Trail along the Township's northern boundary and comprises the majority of the northern portion of Bushkill Township. Sobers Run flows through the northern part of Jacobsburg State Park and Environmental Education Center and discharges into the Bushkill Creek near the middle of the Park.
