I strongly believe that it's best to leave the forests standing until later in the game, at least until you get the techs that give water and windmill boosts. These squares give you 1 extra hammer no matter what and they don't take away any food. This is basically a workshop with out any negative affects! In addition to this, each forest square gives you an additional 0.4 health which can really add up. I know there are benefits to chopping down forests for that quick sheild boost, but I believe the negatives far outweigh the positives.
 
there is another thread on this page titled exactly the same as this one debating this same topic.

Just pointing you to it if you want more information.
