| Working to Prevent Litter Edisto Pride is made up of Edisto Island businesses, individuals from the community, and governmental agencies who believe litter can be prevented. Our approach is to educate the public, particularly our youth, and to instill a sense of community pride in everyone who lives on or visits our island. |
Francine Morrison, the Jane Edwards administrative secretary and President of Keep Edisto Beautiful, applied for a $4,000 Palmetto Pride Grant designed to get elementary, middle, and/or high school students involved in activities that will educate them and their communities about the importance of keeping their state clean and attractive, while promoting in the next generation a sense of pride in the community. |

Jane Edwards participates in both Keep Edisto Beautiful's clean up - the Great American Cleanup - in the spring
and the Beach/River Sweep in the fall. Francine felt that the best way to tell our tourist visitors how much the rural nature and scenic beauty of
Edisto Island means to the students was a message to "Please Don't Litter"introducing the 17 miles of the Edisto Island National Scenic
Byway. EIPA (the Edisto Island Preservation Alliance) thanks Palmetto Pride and Jane Edwards Community School for the Byway sign and the message
it features to keep our clean and beautiful environment.
