That is a frequent problem, sellers go for the big bucks now rather than what is best for continuing production. I have a rather poor attitude concerning loggers who do that. You can correct it but this will take a long time. I don't know about all of the species you want to plant, but the good news is that sugar maples do very well as understory saplings. Your biggest problem, if you have sugar maple ground will be the deer. As a sapling is planted or new seedling first appears, it needs to get protection. In many forest settings, that is done by simply leaving enough slash on the ground to conceal the sugar maple. Once it gets a hold, mark it or shield it from critters, both 4 and 2 legged. Then open it's space up very slowly. Maybe give it sun on one side, then 4-5 years later on the opposite side, then 4-5 later a 3rd side and so forth. Even with that attention it will likely be 30-40 years old before the first tap can be put in. Think of it as doing something for future generations. On another hand, look for native sugar maples that are already there as saplings or pole size, do the same type of management for them too. As you open them up, the 4th side should be the prevailing wind side, to get the root structure to hold up to high winds.
The other species you mention may be similar, maybe not. While sugar maples hold their own as understory trees and then take over as they get the sun needed, not all trees will do well in the understory.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
