Brushy Fork Nature Preserve was purchased by Banklick Watershed Council and transferred to Kenton Conservancy in August 2014. This forested, 43 acre property is in the watershed for Brushy Fork Creek. Access to the property is off of Canberra Drive in Independence, Kentucky.
An additional 55 acres of wetland and old growth forest was purchased in 2019 in partnership with the Banklick Watershed Council. This purchase was also funded by Kentucky Division of Water, Kenton County Fiscal Court, City of Independence, Northern Kentucky Urban & Community Forestry Council, and Duke Energy Foundation. The property is adjacent to the original riparian corridor property that was purchased in 2014.
Brushy Fork Nature Preserve is located at 10463 Canberra Dr, Independence 41051.
