Default Cut down extensive brambles, or leave them be?

I own a piece of land (1/4 acre or so), that has become overgrown with brambles. It would be nice to see them cleared. However, I don't plan to use the land for anything in the near future, and I'm wondering if cutting the brambles down would simply stimulate increased new bramble growth. I want to minimize the number of times per year that I need to go at it with a brush-cutter.

Can anyone offer any insights?

Many thanks,

Goats will clear brambles. Then bring in some pigs to root through it to
get rid of the worst of the lumps and bumps.
