Volunteer Spotlight – Elizabeth (Beth) Negron

Elizabeth (Beth) Negron began her wildlife rehabilitation journey at the age of 13 in Washington state, where she worked with songbirds, raptors, and small mammals, accruing over 20 years of experience in the field. She began volunteering with WRL in 2020 as a care provider and became a Category 2 wildlife rehabilitator in 2023, specializing in the care of foxes, skunks, and raccoons.

Now the director of her own nonprofit, FoxTales Wildlife Rehab, Beth has transformed her entire first floor into a dedicated wildlife space, featuring a general wildlife room, a fox nursery, a raccoon nursery, and a quarantine/ICU room. Her most memorable WRL experiences include field rescues of orphaned fox kits stuck in sheds; responding to calls that came through WRL when no one else, including animal control, would help.

As a CT scan technologist working night shift for over 15 years, Beth balances her healthcare career with her passion for wildlife. She shares her home with three dogs, five cats, two miniature highland cows, an assortment of ducks and chickens, and her educational animals: two red foxes, a raccoon, and a skunk. She is also an avid hiker who has traveled cross-country to explore national parks and summited Mount Pilchuck, in Washington state, at 5,300 feet! Beth’s greatest love remains foxes—especially the Tibetan fox.
