Innovation has become synonymous with the United States, serving as a catalyst for our economic growth and continuous improvement of our standard of living. Economics aside, if not for innovative scientific and technological breakthroughs we would be without countless apparatus, methodologies, and other discoveries that now serve as solutions to once daunting scientific and societal challenges. Faced with a growing list of water quality and other environmental quandaries, our ability to collectively innovate viable solutions has perhaps never been more crucial.

The task of selecting the proper stormwater BMP for your site can be tedious. There are thousands of choices; from drainage swales and silt fences to hydrodynamic separation and storm water filtration systems. All of them have their place in a well written BMP Plan, but none of them will work without maintenance.

An appropriately designed and manufactured tree box filter combines the benefits of natural biofiltration with the reliable and predictable performance of an engineered system. Each tree box filter utilizes a multifaceted approach including physical, chemical and biological processes to capture, immobilize and treat harmful pollutants, while also encouraging low impact development practices by treating smaller drainage areas at the source.
