The question was "What British Columbian logging innovator was also considered a premier collector of British Columbia and Vancouver Island stamps and postal history?"
The answer is Gerald E. Wellburn.
Here's his short biography from the BNAPS website:
Gerald E. Wellburn: Order of the Beaver (1998)
Born in England in 1900, Gerald E. (Gerry) Wellburn started to collect stamps by the age of 5. After the family moved to Vancouver Island when he was 11, he began to look for stamps of British Columbia and Vancouver Island. Members of some of the early families of Victoria who had saved old correspondence showed their letters to the youngster and a new interest was born. After World War I Gerry went to work in British Columbia's forest industry. He founded Wellburn Timbers in 1928 and remained in the industry until his retirement in 1967. He was a pioneer in the use of trucks for logging, and helped form the British Columbia Forest Museum in Duncan, BC.
Aside from family and business, philately was Gerry's greatest interest. He formed award winning collections of the stamps of Canada, the provinces before Confederation and the early postal history of Great Britain, but researching and preserving the postal history of British Columbia and Vancouver Island remained his abiding pursuit. His exhibit won the Grand Award at Capex 1951 and 1987 in Toronto and the Prix d'Honneur at Basel, Switzerland in 1974. Gerry's work was recognized when he became one of the first Canadians to be elected to the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists, and later a Fellow of the Royal Philatelic Society of London, the Canadian Philatelic Society of Great Britain, and the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada. In 1969 Gerry was elected a member of the Order of The Beaver, the fellowship of BNAPS. He and his wife Ethel Mae attended many BNAPS conventions between 1950 and 1985. Gerry passed away on May 25, 1992 in Victoria.
Tim Woodland was kind enough to send the following two photos.
Here is Gerry Wellburn's commemorative brick in front of Munro's Books in Victoria.

Tim also sent us an image of this Special Private Receiving Station Licence (above) which he bought from Albert Tanner.
This is a scan of one of the pages of "Gems of Canadian Philately" as exhibited at CAPEX 1996. You can see how much care Gerald Wellburn took with creating his album pages. The book "Gems of Canadian Philately" happens to be Lot 88 in Bidboard 1620. This page was contirbuted to the book courtesy of Dr. Robert V.C. Carr.
