How Does Weed and Seed Work?

 Lehigh Acres residents are working with law enforcement and county officials to improve the quality of life in Lehigh Acres. We need your help.

The group is applying for a federal grant to develop and implement a Weed and Seed site designed to enhanced law enforcement efforts (Weeding) and provide additional social services and neighborhood revitalization (Seeding). Weed and Seed is community driven. As we develop this proposal, your input will be used as a blueprint for long-term community restoration.

Volunteers are needed for four working subcommittees:

Law Enforcement Subcommittee

Community Policing Subcommittee

Prevention, Intervention and Treatment Subcommittee

Neighborhood Restoration Subcommittee

To help, call Andrea Adams at 477-1485 or e-mail her at AAdams@sheriffleefl.org
