Narrative:
Flew from ZZZ to my home airport; a grass strip. During the landing flare; a wind gust with variable direction changes lifted me off ground and forced a go around. I closed carb heat; gave full throttle; saw I could not clear all the tree tops; stayed slight nose high attitude; and plowed through the tree tops. I continued my go around and landed slightly hard to stay on the ground. Damage to my cessna was right wing position light sheared off; nose cone dented; horizontal stabilizer dented on both outboard edges and left wheel pant fiberglass damaged. Minor dents to leading edge of both wings. No injuries or property damage other than to my airplane.
