Marin Student Spearheads Benefit Concert

FAIRFAX, CA — A Marin student was tasked with identifying and solving a local environmental issue for his environmental science class, and Archie Williams High School senior Aidan O’Reilly has delivered.

O’Reilly is spearheading “Toad Jam: The Musical Adventure” for an environmental science class project that aims to support wetland habitat restoration.

The concert is scheduled for April 9 at noon at Peri Park’s outdoor stage.

The event is sponsored by the Fairfax Parks & Recreation Commission.

All concert proceeds will go toward the restoration of wetland habitats that provide a safe haven for amphibians such as toads, frogs and newts, all of which are key indicators to the health of an ecosystem.

Local amphibian populations have experienced the loss of wetland habitats as a result of pollution and climate change.
