[[Vegetated Filter Strip]]s are gently sloping, densely vegetated areas designed to treat runoff as sheet flow from adjacent impervious areas. Filter strips function by slowing runoff velocities and filtering out sediment and other pollutants. Filter strips may be comprised of a variety of [[trees]], [[shrubs]], and [[vegetation]] to add aesthetic value as well as water quality benefits. <br>
