Abstract
The Dry Forest Investment
Zone (DFIZ) is an area of fifteen counties that share
common economic development and forest management
challenges. The ability of communities and
service providers to capture, leverage, and develop
these resources is an indicator of the organizational
capacity that exists within the Dry Forest Investment
Zone to stabilize and increase long-term economic
and ecological resilience in economically distressed
regions. This assessment of service providers and
their role in building and retaining community capacity
will assist our understanding of how and if
an integrated approach to achieving healthy forests
and rural economies in the Dry Forest Investment
Zone could be accomplished.
