preplan and pant trees, they provide many things, and they are barrier for noise, light, sight, smell, they give shade fire wood s(n)eeds, fruits, habitat concealment.
Plant them in a logical year natural pattern. A row of trees can be turned into a 3m barbed wire, sturdy as fuck fence in hours.
Make a seasonal selection, use ever greens too, different hights so light and shadow can play games.
Build a habitat for bat, owls, bees, wasp, bugs, you don't want a dead monoculture forest, you want an oasis that draws in all animals.
you want all nuts

Yeah, that the issue with berries at the front line if they are a food source and somewhat attractive. Especially if you plan for a disaster that has strong enough impact that people might be walking by. In that case boring useless is better.
