The private certificated pilot reported that he intended to inspect the surface of an off airport site by flying low over the site, then performing a go-around, and landing if the site looked acceptable. During the approach, as the airplane passed over the approach end of the site, the pilot applied full engine power, and raised the nose in an attempt climb, but the airplane failed to clear the trees at the end of the site. The airplane sustained structural damage to the fuselage, wings, and empennage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain adequate altitude/clearance during an intentional go-around, which resulted in an in-flight collision with trees.
