Food forest planting on steep N/E slope near brook

Looking for advice on a steep slope that I'll be clearing this winter for firewood. Zone 6B..but near an all-season brook where frost and low temps are very unpredictable.

I would also like to maintain the ridge view once firewood is harvested, so looking at low lying food such as currants, hazels, or dwarf fruit trees? It will still be in semi-shade due to larger pine trees on above the slope on other side.

How short do you want to keep things? Hazels are not particularly short if you don't keep cutting them down they'll get to 15ft in about 5-7 years, the same height as a mid sized apple tree. the same goes for elder, both would fit otherwise since they don't mind some shade and some damp.

Gooseberries would work and depending on the soil type blueberries? Ramsons might really like it there as well.
