Hi Mark,
You may have already heard about this, but here's just a word of advice. Mark the areas around trees you want the dozer to leave alone with stakes and survey tape. If the machine goes too close to the roots you may lose the tree to root damage later - so where possible, try and mark out at least a 15' protected zone from the trunks. Make sure to show your dozer operator what you want to save ahead of time and try to be there when the clearing happens.
Best of luck with your new place.
