Livia Stone

Livia’s lifelong passion for learning and love for any and all animals are perhaps her most defining characteristics. Her first career was in publishing, and while she loved working on children’s, arts, and craft books, it wasn’t until heading out West that she found her true calling.

After extensive volunteer efforts at several Bay Area wildlife and conservation organizations, Livia interned at WildCare, a wildlife hospital and education center in San Rafael, California. The experience would be life-changing; in helping to heal and return wild animals to their homes, Livia truly feels like she has become the person she was meant to be.

After five years on staff, Livia now volunteers her time to help wildlife, particularly critical care patients. Her home often has wild guests ranging from owls to skunks.

Most recently, her work with The Biz and Livia Stone Foundation allows her to make a larger impact on the conservation of wild spaces and also to share her love of learning with underserved Bay Area children by opening up new opportunities for them to experience the world.
