After aborting a hard landing at another airstrip (ZZZZ) I flew back to the point of departure; ZZZZ1 airstrip.  Upon landing at ZZZZ1 the nose gear collapsed; the prop struck the ground and the aircraft veered off the runway coming to rest at the tree line along the airstrip.  There were no deaths or injuries.I believe the hard landing was caused by an unexpected downdraft at the touchdown point at ZZZZ.To prevent a recurrence the trees at the threshold of the airstrip should be cleared.
Pilot of a small aircraft reported that following a hard landing; a landing at another airport was made which resulted in a nose gear collapse; prop strike; and subsequent departure of the aircraft from the airstrip.
