Stevens' regular employment was as a tea-planter.[1] He left the U.K. in 1901 to work in India, and became the manager of the Gopaldhara Tea Estate in Darjeeling.[3][4]

In 1921 Stevens returned to live in the U.K., settling at Tring, Hertfordshire with his wife Amy.[3] From time to time in later life Stevens traveled as a naturalist, for example taking part in the Sladen-Godman Expedition to Tonkin [northern Vietnam] in 1925 and the Kelley-Roosevelt Asiatic Expedition to China in 1928.[5] In 1930–1931, Stevens participated in Charles Suydam Cutting's Expedition to Sikkim and Bengal Terai, where he collected mammal, bird and reptile specimens for the Field Museum of Chicago.[6]
