Sounds like a worthy plan.
For instance, the redwoods in Redwood City (on the SF Penninsula)were clear cut back in the 1800s. The growth up on the ridge line (Skyline Drive) is getting impressive. That is with about 100 years or so of growth. One can only imagine what the area looked like back in the 1700s.

Have been to Muir Woods many times.
I assume that’s somewhat what things may have looked like.
About 3 years ago I took Skyline BLVD to Old La Honda Rd.
I was very impressed. Out in SF for some Solar Inverter training.
