I do no work at all to my property, other than a small area around the house that we walk. I have a family of deer that spends most of their day relaxing in my yard.
You have what looks like a mature, stabilized woods. You’re lucky. My yard was just disturbed bare clay and weed seeds when I got to it. I left it alone for a few months and ended up with wall to wall invasive weeds, 8 feet tall. I didn’t have a few hundred years to let it stabilize itself.
