Looks like ash:

Single samarah seeds, compound leaves without lobed petioles and symetrical tree form with opposite branching (not possible to make out in the photo). Probably white ash or green ash, not clear enough to distinguish from the photos. White ash has purple or brown overwintering branch tips on current growth (In my area they are purple)

Box elder (ash-leaf maple) has double samarah seeds, compound leaves with lobed petioles and no symetry to its form. Green or purplish branch tips on up to five years of growth.

Pre-commercial thinning pays off. :)

My first thought was ASH. I really need to see bark or the whole tree to be 100% sure. I don't know if there differant kinds of ash but around here hilltop ash looks differant from bottem land ash. I think Oak trees have more differant kinds than any other species, seem as tho I find a new species in every woods I cut in, maybe its the conditions.

Green and white ash most common, can be id'd from the leaf scars.  Other minor ashes out there.  Green ash associated with wet areas, white upland.
