I was taught to air for a landing on TOP of teh trees, and aim for the most greenery, the theory behind thist is that the upper branches are a lot softer than the main trunk of the trees, and will slow the plane almost to a stop with minimal impact, The resulting fall to the ground will be a lot softer with a greater chance of survival than flying straight into the trunks of the trees. and a great big hole in the trees canopy area will make you a lot easier to spot ftom the air.
In Sydney we are surrounded by large heavily forested ares, 1000's of square miles of it.
