That looks like a Red Mulberry, Morus rubra. If the base of the leaf is straight across, the top is shiny green, and the underside dull. Most mulberries are hybrids of white and red, but there are a few straight reds out there. Straight reds tend not to have the mitten shaped leases, just entire leaves. On a different note, the large sugar maple you photographed out by the meadow at Longwood has to come down. It was being attacked by Verticillium Wilt. Sorry for the bad news.
