Come on Pam, you need to brush up on your native species! That looks very

much
like Populus grandidentata, Big tooth aspen. It is native in the
midwest/northeast part of the country. We have them all over the place

here in
michigan.

Good for you. This is not exactly a contest. I'm not disputing it may very
well be a native species, HOWEVER, the leaf on P. grandidentata is typically
double the size of the one indicated, the shape is not exact, nor is the
serration as distinct. And the petiole length is more proportional to the
size leaf for P. tremula (or temuloides) than it is for P. grandidentata.
