THE PILOT REPORTED THAT DURING THE FULL FLAP LANDING APPROACH HE ENCOUNTERED LIGHT TO MODERATE TURBULENCE. DURING THE SUBSEQUENT HARD LANDING, THE NOSE GEAR HIT THE RUNWAY AND THE AIRPLANE BOUNCED INTO THE AIR. THE PILOT APPLIED FULL POWER FOR AN ABORTED LANDING AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO RAISE THE FLAPS WHEN THE AIRPLANE 'MUSHED' INTO TREES AT THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY
