To qualify that last comment a bit, land left untouched returns to the wild pretty quickly. You can't re-create the Wildwood (I wish) but you can let Nature do her stuff. Perhaps with a little helping hand at first but then relatively interupted and see what happens.
However, the re-introduction of large carnivors is a difficult area. The British Isles are a collection of pretty small islands, there are enough difficulties surrounding the re-introduction of Wolves to Scotland. It would only work with a greatly reduced human population.
