A Cessna 150L was damaged beyond repair during a forced landing to a field after a partial loss of engine power in Lusby, Maryland. The certificated student pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the solo instructional flight that originated at St. Mary's Airport (2W6), California, Maryland. No flight plan was filed for the flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. In a written statement, the student pilot said he performed a preflight inspection of the airplane with no deficiencies noted. He said that fuel samples from both tanks revealed an absence of water or other contaminants. The student pilot said he filled both tanks with fuel, and that he took another fuel sample from each tank with no contaminants noted. The pilot declared an emergency to Patuxent Approach, entered the requested transponder code, and noted that he had descended to 1100ft MSL. Patuxent Approach located the pilot and offered a vector to Chesapeake Ranch private field, but the pilot felt he did not have the altitude to make it. He had noticed a cleared field and began to circle it before touching down, making a soft landing before contacting the trees around 15 miles per hour, damaging the aircraft beyond repair.
