PER CURIAM.
Appellant Lydia Ann Rush appeals from the trial court's order revoking her probation and imposing a prison sentence following the court's finding that she willfully and substantially violated a condition of her probation. Appellant argues that the evidence does not support a finding that her violation was willful, and the record supports her argument. Furthermore, the State concedes error. See State v. Carter, 835 So.2d 259, 261 (Fla.2002) ( "Trial courts must consider each violation on a case-by-case basis for a determination of whether, under the facts and circumstances, a particular violation is willful and substantial and is supported by the greater weight of the evidence."); Van Wagner v. State, 677 So.2d 314, 317 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996) ("Where a probationer makes reasonable efforts to comply with a condition of probation, violation of the condition cannot be deemed ‘willful.’ "). Accordingly, we reverse and remand for Appellant's probation to be reinstated.
B.L. THOMAS, ROWE, and WINSOR, JJ., concur.
