-(Possible Future) Published diet study of coyotes in Portland

-(Possible Future) Nature education sign installations

About: The EZRA Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. It is an evolving effort that ultimately aims to set aside time, space, and sometimes a little money for endeavors that celebrate nature, animals, and kindness, while putting Ezra’s name on beautiful things we hope he’d be proud of. Please read more about Ezra here.

If you are moved to financially support this effort, please donate. Any amount is wonderful. We also have some fun stickers to raise money to seed our fund, as well! If you instead have a question, suggestion, or idea you'd like to pursue, please reach out to ezrathomasfoundation@gmail.com.
