About Us
Our Story
The Keep Woods publishing firm grew out of a local effort to preserve land from over-development.
In 2015, it was announced that a dense housing project was planned for a 33-acre site adjacent to the Braden River and semi-rural neighborhoods. The river is the source of drinking water for the major city in Manatee County.
