Hard Mast Trees Native to New Jersey

From: a jonas City: springfield, NJ
What nut trees will survive and thrive in NJ? My shady 1/2 acre lot has a number of 40+/- year old oaks maples, etc which are starting to thin out by themselves. I want to replace the ones that are down. I want hardwood trees and might as well do nut trees for the deer, wild turkeys, squirrels, birds, etc (since fruit trees won't get a lot of sunlight). Any help is appreciated.

Greetings: Might I suggest this Website - it is a list of New Jersey native plants, shrubs, trees, etc. http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/rdsduse/nj.htm
