Here's what is happening at the Edisto Beach State Park ELC in August.

07/07/2026

A group of Frespace members gathered at Edisto Beach State Parks picnic shelter Tuesday morning to pick up litter after the busy 4th of July weekend in the park’s day-use area. The group of 10 volunteers was able to cover the entire picnic area in just under an hour. In total 2 full bags of litter were collected.

Volunteer Opportunity:
We need a few volunteers to conduct a post 4th of July litter sweep of the park’s day-use area. We will meet at Shelter 1 (shelter closest to the park entrance) at 9:00am Tuesday 7/7. This event should last about an hour. Please bring a pic-stick and bucket if you have them. We will meet back at shelter 1 around 10:00 for a group photo.

Please let me know if you are coming by email to [email protected].
