Why did you collect it? It's as thin as a pencil.
Did you have permission from the landowner?
Why did you not identify the species before collecting it?
It looks like some kind of maple (Acer) but it might be one of the many maples not suited to bonsai techniques.

Look in the park for trees/shrubs with the same foliage, that could help identify it.

Acer have opposing leaves, this one has alternating leaves.
I do not know what it is, but not acer.
As auk suggested, look in the area for mature trees and sjrubs. If you do not find a large speciment, you mag have collected a herb instead of a tree.

Hi Folks thanks for your replies,
Firstly, there are mostly Gulmohar/ Poinciana nearby but all trees are heavily infested by Ergets so seeds might have been transported.
Secondly, there was nothing illegal regarding collecting the plant.
I am guessing it to be sassafras; is it possible.
I will post more pics in the morning
