One of the benefits from trees is that areas where massive trees are located are likely to be more culturally and economically valuable. A canopy research discovers that “Where a canopy of trees exists, apartments and offices rent more quickly and have a higher occupancy rate; workers report more productivity and less absenteeism.” (canopy research, n.d.). From this, the benefit of trees is clear, that the presence of trees leads to the increase in the productivities of the workers; therefore, the trees serve as an indirect boosting factor that provides economical value to the companies located near the park. Furthermore, the canopies from the trees provide shades for people. Shades are usually useful in providing shelter from the torrid sun in summer. In addition, trees and tree shade are responsible for recreational values, that “Trees provide inviting and cool areas for recreation and relaxation such as playgrounds and parks” (canopy research, n.d.). Clearly, Victoria Park is one of the parks that people gather and enjoy themselves by walking around the trees and feeling the nature. When I came to investigate Victoria Park during the winter, I saw people enjoying themselves by walking in the park. Even the trees were not fully covered by beautiful leaves, people still enjoyed the park. Therefore, Victoria Park provides people with a good image of natural resort by presenting cultural values from the aspect of
