#3I've used my tech salary to buy some formerly clear-cut acreage near National Forests with a plan to rehabilitate and protect the forest there. One of the first things I want to do is set up some trails for hiking to the ridge and creek on the property. Thanks for sharing this, super interesting to read!

#4Is there a good way of discovering other books/pamphlets like this that the government makes available (e.g. a curated list)? They're usually super interesting and have lots of good info, but I'm not sure how to find them other than picking a federal/state/county department and poking around their site to see what PDFs they have available. I've found trail guides, local plant guides, walking maps, etc. via that approach, but it's time-intensive and I wouldn't have stumbled across this guide unless I had already heard about it.

You may be able to find more information on the National Forest Service Library - https://www.fs.fed.us/library/.
You're right though, I've found searching for these lists to be very time consuming and the databases do not tend to be very user friendly.

I recommend volunteering with a local trail organization. You'll likely find some interesting old timers who can teach you a ton about building trails.

Do you plan to remove invasive weeds and plant native wildflowers/trees?

Yeah, working with a local forest services company to contract some of that out, but yes, the intent is to build up a native habitat.
