THE ACFT WAS TAKING OFF TO THE SOUTH AND COLLIDED WITH TREES ALONGSIDE THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT STATED THAT AS THE ACFT LIFTED OFF HE PASSED A CLEARING ON THE RIGHT AND A CROSSWIND DRIFTED THE ACFT LEFT ACROSS THE RUNWAY INTO TREES. THE LEFT WING CLIPPED A TREE AND THE ACFT WAS ROTATED INTO THE TREES AND BRUSH WHERE IT CAME TO REST.
