Hurricane Matthew changes plans for FRED Edisto Island event

Friends of the Edisto has been working hard in recent months to forge new and stronger ties with our friends along the river as it joins with the Atlantic Ocean at Edisto Island.

As part of this effort, we had begun actively planning for a new FRED event, tentatively scheduled for the second weekend in November. We were looking forwards to a great day, but then Hurricane Matthew forced us to put those plans on hold.

We will be resetting the plan for this event as soon as possible, but much will depend on the recovery efforts which are ongoing on the island. We urge you to keep our friends on Edisto Island in your thoughts as they deal with the storm's aftermath. 

The Edisto Beach Police Department has posted an extensive gallery of photos from the recovery effort. See them by clicking HERE.
