Dottie Moses

Dottie Moses and her husband moved to Key Largo in 1982 from Miami. She is a 3rd generation South Floridian. After retiring from AT&T in 2002, Dottie spent time traveling and began volunteering. Today, in addition to her work for Last Stand, Dottie helps raise native plants for Dagny Johnson Botanical State Park, the hardwood hammock that was saved from development and was the catalyst for the Florida Keys to be designated an Area of Critical State Concern. She is also a volunteer for Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge where she helps maintain the butterfly garden, builds nests for the endangered woodrat and plants torchwood trees for the endangered Schaus Swallowtail Butterfly. During sea turtle nesting season, Dottie volunteers to survey nests on Sea Oats beach.

Dottie began her community activism after a development agreement threatened her neighborhood. She is now the President of the Island of Key Largo Federation of Homeowner Associations, Treasurer for Save A Turtle, and Secretary for the Florida Keys Scenic Corridor Alliance. Dottie pays close attention to activities both on land and at sea that could have an impact on her community and has had some success at keeping impacts at bay.
