Identification needed

Can anyone tell me what this plant is? It grows wild in our woods and I don't want to pull it out if it is something desirable.
Thanks!

It looks like a viburnum. If it seems to be a shrub and the leaves are arranged opposite one another, then I'd suggest you compare it to Viburnum acerifolium (Mapleleaf viburnum). A nice plant, drought and shade tolerant, creating flowers for pollinators and berries for birds.

Thanks, esh! I'll keep it!

Is this plant tall or small? If small, it could be any one of several woodland plants with the blue berry, from Canada Moonseed to Waterleaf. How about more info?

It is about 4 feet tall. That is English Ivy you see below it (what a nightmare THAT is!)
