#[[Stormwater Tree Trenches]] - linear tree planting structures that feature supported impermeable or [[Permeable pavements| permeable pavements]] that promote healthy tree growth while also helping to manage runoff. They are often located behind the curb within the road right-of-way and consist of subsurface trenches filled with modular structures and growing medium, or structurally engineered soil medium, supporting overlying sidewalk pavement. Retains and filters out pollutants and [[salt]] from urban sites and then allows water to drain into the local municipal storm swear system after a major storm event to help reduce peak flow of water entering into the system and reduces the likelihood of an overwhelmed storm sewer or local surcharge.<ref>CVC. 2022. Native Plants for Rain-ready Landscapes.
