Back to Seattle, 1980. Stone Gossard and Andrea Maki first met in the halls of Northwest School at 14 years old, and have been trusted partners in crime since. Art and music are at their cores, accompanied by an awareness to act on behalf our greater whole. While Stone's path is his music and giving back, to include the Vitalogy Foundation, Andrea's lifetime career as a contemporary visual artist includes founding her non-profit Wild Love Preserve in 2010, and Stone was the first to step up and support the project. Stone and the Vitalogy Foundation have been instrumental in successes of Wild Love Preserve’s work with Idaho's Challis wild horses and the preservation of our iconic wild mustangs and wild places. Wild Love's innovative model has demonstrated via boots-on-the-ground implementation, how coexistence, humane treatment, sustainable management, protecting wild horses and indigenous habitats, and saving tax dollars, can work together to benefit stakeholders and our collective whole. Subsequently, Wild Love Preserve's model in wild horse conservation has garnered national attention and is being sourced as a framework for other wild horse regions in the West.
