WHILE LANDING ON A 2300 FT RUNWAY, THE PLANE TOUCHED DOWN ABOUT 1000 TO 1200 FT BEYOND THE APPROACH END. THE PILOT FELT THAT THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT ROOM TO STOP SAFELY, SO SHE INITIATED A GO-AROUND. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO ATTAIN ENOUGH ALTITUDE TO CLEAR TREES BEYOND THE END OF THE RUNWAY. THE LEFT WING COLLIDED WITH TREES AND THE PLANE CRASHED.
