The FRED Fall Membership Celebration is held each fall, and for the past several years the City of Orangeburg has provided an idyllic location on the banks of the North Fork of the Edisto. The Fall Membership Celebration provides an opportunity to reflect on the year that has passed, and to look ahead to the coming year's challenges and opportunities. Awards are presented, a keynote speaker is invited, and there is food, fun, entertainment, and various educational and outreach opportunities.

In 2013, Friends of the Edisto (FRED) had to challenge the State's issuance of a water-withdrawal registration on the South Fork Edisto River which in times of drought would allow as much as two-thirds of available flow in the river to be removed by one farm for crop irrigation. The large withdrawal of water was granted to Walther Farms (potato farm) in Aiken County.
