Englehart Artwork

Englehart Artwork

Lou Englehart traveled through BC during the 1970s and 1980s painting beehive burners. A symbol of the lumber industry in British Columbia, the burners were slowly disappearing as forestry practices changed and Lou captured many of these burners before they were destroyed.

The Englehart family has generously donated the vast majority of the collection of burner paintings to the Faculty of Forestry. The remaining paintings can be viewed at www.pgrfm.bc.ca.
