nikki,
The only safe way to land in trees is between them! Otherwise it matters not what technique is used to cushion onto the canopy because a perfect landing 100 ft up may be followed shortly afterwards by a 100 ft plummet with no visible means of support.
Having learned my trade over jungle terrain I can confirm that even in a twin it needs some careful consideration (the avoid curve still exists for a twin).
The military teaching is to avoid wooded areas where possible, if not then at least aim to fly over the upwind end so in the unlkely event of things going rather quiet in the engine department you can turn away from the trees as you turn into wind. Same goes for wires, aerials farms etc.
Having been required to instruct mountain flying in singles in my time, I am now thankful that I'm no longer in that game...and flying twin engines again... wife, kids, mortgage etc etc...
Take care!
