==== 1960 to present ====
In 1984, an [[Platanus occidentalis|American sycamore]] seedling, germinated by the [[United States Forest Service]], was planted at the Keystone Heights Library. The "[[Moon tree|Moon Tree]]" traveled with [[Stuart Roosa]], a former U.S. Forest Service [[smokejumper]], aboard the [[Apollo 14]] mission on January 31, 1971. Roosa and his five varieties of seeds orbited the Moon 34 times and the resulting seedlings were planted all around the United States and the world.<ref>{{cite news |last=Sealey |first=Jean |url=https://www.jacksonville.com/article/20150206/NEWS/801238853 |title=Keystone Heights enjoys link to Apollo 14 mission |work=[[The Florida Times-Union]] |date=2015-02-06 |accessdate=2021-04-27 }}</ref>

In the early 2000s, the city saw its tourism industry decline as many of its surrounding lakes, which serve as a primary inflow point for the [[Floridan aquifer]], nearly disappeared. Increased rainfall totals in the 2010s have helped in the recovery of many area lakes including Lake Brooklyn and Lake Geneva.

The Black Creek Pipeline, a $43.3 million project to pump excess water from Black Creek in central Clay County to Alligator Creek just north of Lake Brooklyn, is expected to further restore lake levels. The project began in August 2022.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Swirko |first=Cindy |title=Water district launches Keystone Heights recharge project |url=https://www.gainesville.com/story/news/2021/04/03/water-district-launches-keystone-heights-recharge-project-black-creek/7069497002/ |access-date=2022-08-01 |website=Gainesville Sun |language=en-US}}</ref>
