NASF and the U.S. Forest Service have released the 2008 "Redesign Report Card," a 32-page report that takes a closer look at the Focus + Priority = Outcome principle of Redesign, a process launched two years ago to enhance delivery of State & Private Forestry programs. Summarized in the report are details on the first wave of projects in the Redesign process, which leveraged nearly $23 million in matching funding from state agencies and partner organizations in 2008 to augment $19.5 million in federal funding. Redesign is a multi-stage strategic approach that effectively and proactively invests federal, state, local and private resources in a way that makes a meaningful impact on the ground.
