Sounds like an amazing place, and hopefully will remain so in the future. Very true that stumps will sprout quickly, though sugar maple doesn't like the exposure and may not sprout as successfully as red maple, to my knowledge. Yellow birch, if present, may not do so well neither. It would be interesting to follow its succession. I live too far away unfortunately.

* even if most of the trees have been cut, the forest floor flora can likely be preserved if the stumps are allowed to sprout, and shade-tolerant seedlings can grow rapidly. The site described at http://karstaddailypaintings.blogspot.ca/2013/11/hawkridge-chipmunk-6oil-on-canvs-6-x-8.html
seems to have been clearcut in the mid 20th Century, but without grazing or other disturbance, retained at least a lot of the forest floor diversity.
