When you remove the trees, make sure you dig around them, cut the roots, then pull the trees over.  if you just cut them off as close to the ground as possible, when you ride you will displace dirt and the stumps will start sticking up.

I duct tape one end of a long string (I have also used fishing line in the past) to a large bolt.  I then throw the bolt over the highest branch on the tree that I can.  I then tie the string to one end of a really heavy 100' rope that I have.  I use the string to pull the rope up and over the branch then tie a slip knot (like a noose) and pull it tight such that it is around the trunk of tree but kept high up in the tree by the branch I threw it over.  I then tie the other end of the rope to the truck and pull it over after I have cut as much of the roots as possible.

It's a whole lot more work that merely cutting them off at ground level, but if you've ever ridden trails with little stumps sticking up, you'll take the time to do it right.
