[LOTR] When Sauron was vanquished, did Mirkwood heal?

Did it turn back into Greenwood or was it permanently scarred?

During the War of the Ring, an army came forth from Dol Guldur and attacked the Elves of Mirkwood. There was a fierce battle, but in the end the Elves were victorious - the Elves of Mirkwood were aided by the Elves of Lothlorien, who crossed the Anduin to trap the orcs between their two armies, and Thranduil and Celeborn met under the eaves of the forest.

After the orcs were destroyed, the Elves marched against Dol Guldur itself. At this point Galadriel brought forth her power, and the power of her Ring Nenya, and threw down the walls of Dol Guldur and laid bare its pits. Thus Dol Guldur was overthrown, and Mirkwood was cleansed.
