People! This is how it works: The Cullens came as "guests" to Forks, the Cullens made a treaty with the shape-shifters that they will not bite a human. Then they most probably said that if they were to go away, then the 'shifters would have their land back. In New Moon, Jacob tells Bella that "if a Cullen is back this is their territory. I can't protect you here," see, it clearly states that if a Cullen is there, the 'shifters cannot protect on their land. Sounds confusing, but read it over a few times, you'll understand.
