Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PILOT CALLED AHEAD BEFORE LANDING AT THE AIRPORT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE GRASS RUNWAY WAS USABLE. AFTER LANDING, HE INITIATED A TAKEOFF FROM THE SOFT, GRASS RUNWAY. ACCORDING, TO THE PILOT, THE GRASS WAS UNCUT AND WAS TOO HIGH FOR A DEPARTURE OF HIS TYPE OF AIRCRAFT. HE STATED THAT A LIFT-OFF WAS PROLONGED TO THE POINT THAT AN ABORT WAS IMPOSSIBLE AND THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A TREE AND CRASHED.
