We (my family) have a camp up in that area. In 15 years you will hardly notice the stumps and work done.
FYI - back in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s we were told in school that about 91% of ME is covered by trees. That is still true today. Some even say that it is about 92% now because the pasture and agricultural land is not being worked and has gone back to woodland.

I drilled three wells in the Hoback Ridge area of Wyoming in the late 70s. I went back looking for them in the late 80s and had difficulty finding them. Around here we live in a hardwood jungle of sorts. You leave it alone for a few years and nature will reclaim open pasture. In 20 to 30 years you won’t know pasture was there. The problem now is invasive species taking hold instead of good native trees. The stinking ornamental Bradford Pears spread like dandelions.

New Hampshire, with an even greater coverage of trees, is opposing a similar venture.
