Resilience. Creativity. Results.
Strategic planning, board governance, and team development for park friends groups, conservancies, nonprofits, and businesses.
New Line Consulting enables organizations and individuals to stay on purpose, produce superb results, and feel whole.
Our primary expertise is the human side of change.
For three decades, we've supported the people who care for America's parks and public lands; friends groups, conservancies, and the agencies they partner with, along with businesses and nonprofits across the country. We've worked with more than 100 National Park Service units, National Forests, and BLM offices, and today we bring that same depth to the nonprofit partners stepping up to sustain parks through uncertain times.

Our Latest Offering: NextStorm
A volatile future isn't a possibility, it's a certainty. Developed with and piloted by the Yosemite Conservancy, NextStorm is a high-stakes, two-day simulation that equips leadership teams to confront disruption head-on. Participants dive into seven to eight disruptive scenarios and battle-test their responses to the three most critical. It's intense, immersive, and built for this era of political shocks, funding volatility, and rapid change. Don't wait to react, build the muscle to lead through the storm.
“If you’re seeking thought-provoking facilitators who bring out the best in your team—and in you as a leader—I strongly endorse New Line Consulting.”

Through a series of structured and engaging sessions, we guide teams in crafting a compelling vision, identifying strategic priorities, and setting achievable, measurable goals. The result is a focused, actionable strategic plan—grounded in organizational values, informed by real-world context, and designed to drive measurable progress.

New Leader Transition
Building trust, communication, and collaboration between a new leader and their team accelerates decision-making and alignment. This early cohesion helps avoid misunderstandings, reduces friction, and ensures the leadership team can respond effectively to challenges and opportunities—especially during critical periods of transition. It also builds a foundation of mutual respect and shared purpose. Investing in this early alignment sets the tone for a healthy leadership culture and long-term success.
