Calling All Detectives!
Can you solve a Mystery?

Guess who I am using the clues below. I could be a plant, animal, bird, tree, insect, arachnid (spiders), or amphibian found in Colorado.

1. My trunk grows very big and tall, and I provide lots of shade.

2. My leaves are heart-shaped and my bark is rough and bumpy.

3. You will find me growing next to the water because I need lots of water to grow.

4. If you break open a stick from my branches you will find a secret star inside!
