check Robina pseudoacacia
or a black locust  
seen often on the atlantic sea board 

what i dont see here are the thorns that i remember too well.

do you have more pictures?
or possibility of visiting the tree again to  look for the thorns on trunk and lower branches
I hope you can, seems you are the conservator of that forest
wonderful


Honey locust is different, see second or the third paragraph

Correction, please check Millettia. The seed pods are not the same as M. pinnata, sorry for my too quick typing.

To me looks different from images at Millettia pinnata, Millettia peguensis and Robinia pseudoacacia
Appears close to images at Lonchocarpus sericeus (Introduced)
