A Eurocopter AS 350 B2 helicopter (C-FMBC) operated by Pemberton Helicopters was conducting a hover manoeuvre to land in a confined area to disembark an environmental survey crew. This was the fifth and final stop of the day at a touchdown area different than originally chosen. While backing up the tail rotor struck an object and began to vibrate. The helicopter touched down on uneven ground and rolled onto its right-hand side. There were no injuries; the helicopter was destroyed. The pilot turned on the ELT and used a satellite telephone to notify the company. The company dispatched another helicopter to pick up the passengers and pilot.
