I have a lot of springs on my farm in Eastern Iowa. I am in the Iowa
clay bluffs a few miles from the Iowa River. Here, springs tend to come
out on the lower end of a spur of a hill. As I understand it, it's
leaking between the layers of clay.
If you can figure out where it's coming out, you may be able to tile it
in a direction that isn't damaging to the trees. I suspect that the next
couple months would be a good time to check on it. Are there tiling
contractors in New York state? They would have some good suggestions.
In all honesty, most spring openings are not apparent readily. I have
one spring that I can definitely place the origin. That is not counting
the spring that started when I dug a posthole! I had to use all gravel
to tamp that post in!
