A day in the life of ACRES Office Manager
Together with our members and volunteers, ACRES protects more than 7,200 acres of natural and working land in northeast Indiana, northwest Ohio and southern Michigan while maintaining 50 miles of trails for free public use. Seven full-time staff members ensure the protection of this land every day, but what does that work look like? This is the second post in our “A day in the life” blog series where we share our different roles and how they support our mission to protect land.
If you’ve ever called the ACRES office, it was probably Office Manager Natasha Manor who answered the call. Or you might have met her at an ACRES preserve while she was leading a volunteer workday!
Natasha’s attention to detail and excellent customer service skills ensure the business of protecting land gets done. Here, she shares what a “typical” day in her life looks like.
