    This plant was growing by a vernal pool in Hinesburg, VT

    Answer

    Dear joshl, the shrub you've photographed is Viburnum nudum var. cassinoides (withe-rod), a native member of the Adoxaceae. This plant is frequent in wetlands and along shorelines and wet field edges. It is most similar to Viburnum lentago (nannyberry), which you can compare images with on the Go Botany website. Best wishes.
