Watch out for Walnut trees. I'm not sure if they're native to VA, but
Walnuts are great producers of toxic compounds. In fact, a tank of
Blackbanded Sunfish that I kept in our woodworking shop met their demise
partly because of walnut-dust conditions.

P.S. If anyone knows of any more particular info. on Walnut toxicity,
I'd be very interested in hearing about it.
