Wolsing Trails is a 42 acre property around the Banklick Creek in Independence, KY. This land was donated for conservation by Mr. George Wolsing in 2006.
In 2012, with the purchase of the Whispering Woods property, an additional 1000 linear feet of buffer along Banklick Creek was preserved. In early 2019, a wetland was constructed on the western part of the property to create ecological habitat and create on-site water retention.
