10 Zoom backgrounds to bring West Michigan nature into your home office

10 Zoom backgrounds to bring West Michigan nature into your home office

Like many of you, we’re spending a lot more time video conferencing here at the Land Conservancy of West MichiganSheltering in place is hard—especially when all you want to do is go outside and explore. But we have a way you can keep nature nearby, even in the home office.  

We created 10 Zoom backgrounds that allow you to virtually transport yourself to an oak savanna carpeted with lupine, a prairie in summer bloom or a sunlit forest scene. 

These photos were all taken at nature preserves protected by the Land Conservancy of West Michigan. We’ve included versions with and without the Land Conservancy’s logo—so you can choose if you want to rep your favorite land trust during your virtual meetings. Logos are backwards to accommodate for mirrored camera settings.
