Chummer - With it being " new ground " getting disturbed for the first time as part of logging, the 2 things that come to mind are buckwheat and Alsike clover. Alsike grows on poorer soil that is more acidic than other clovers. Buckwheat is what old - time farmers seeded on newly opened ground that wasn't in the best condition. We've grown both on some of the poorer ground at my camp ( 50 minutes south of N.Y. border ) and both did fine. The clover will put N into the soil ( you prob. know this ) and the buckwheat is food and soil-builder when mowed or decaying naturally to add organic material. I'd spread some lime - if you can - just to get the pH started. Even if you just toss it around - it all helps. Pelletized is easy to toss with a plastic cup or empty can of corn. That's exactly how my sons and I started one of the crappy fallow fields at camp - tossing pelletized from cans & whipping it around. Field is now a big producer. We threw it down on top of the last snow of the winter season in late March as I recall. Keep us posted.
