Read the text aloud.
Urban forests can show pride and community spirit. Trees enhance community economic stability by attracting businesses and tourism. People linger and shop longer along tree-lined streets, apartments and offices in wooded areas, rent more quickly and have higher occupancy rates. Businesses leasing office space and developed developments with trees find their workers are more productive and absenteeism is reduced.
