Whatever exists there now was probably there 400 years ago.

Except niggers.

This should give you plenty:
The reports of Dutch and English explorers along the east coast of North America described a place of astonishing plenty, awaiting the arrival of the European to reap her bounty. The second-hand report of Nicolaes van Wassenaer, a popularizer of the Dutch enterprise in the New World, is typical:

In their waters are found all sorts of fowls, such as cranes, bitterns, swans, geese, ducks, widgeons, wild geese, as in this country. Birds fill also the woods so that men can scarcely go through them for the whistling, the noise, and the chattering. Whoever is not lazy can catch them with little difficulty. . . . Pigeons fly wild; they are chased by the foxes like the fowls. Tortoises are very small, and are not eaten, because there is plenty of other food. The most wonderful are the dreadful frogs, in size about a span, which creak with a ringing noise in the evening, as in this country. 'Tis surprising that storks have not been found here, since it is a marshy country. Spoon-bills, ravens, eagles, sparrow hawks, vultures are numerous and are quickly shot or knocked down by the natives....

One had only to dip one's hand into the water to catch a fish, or grasp the air to catch a bird. Oysters are described as ?foot-long,?  mullets ?a foot and a half long a peace,? and Rays ?as great as fore men could hale into the ship.? The land bore a cornucopia of wild fruits ? grapes, berries, wild plums and cherries. And trees.  Hudson reported the existence along the Great River of ?all kinds of timber suitable for shipbuilding.?  Wassenaer described oaks ?of very close grain? and ?thick as three or four men.?  The traveler Isaac de Rasieres described New Netherland in 1629 as full of ?oaks, elms, walnuts and fir trees.  Also wild cedar and chestnut trees.?
