Hopkins was the first chief of the Division of Forest Insect Investigations and directed this work in the Bureau of Entomology from 1902-1923. Previous to that he had been: farmer, 1877-1890; entomologist, West Virginia Experiment Station, 1890-1902 and vice-director, 1897-1902; author of many bulletins on insects and holder of many scientific honors. He has often been called the Father of Forest Entomology in America. Hopkins' experience in western forest areas was limited to brief trips. In 1899 he made a trip out of Washington, D.C., lasting from April 9 to June 17, in which he visited areas in California, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, which was quite remarkable in its results. In this short period he colleced 4,363 specimens and took 760 notes. Later developments showed that he had uncovered and correctly interpreted most of the important forest insect problems of the region. As a result of this trip, he published "A Preliminary Report of the Insect Enemies of Forests in the Northwest." In 1902, 1903, 1904, and 1905 he made trips into the Black Hills, Pacific Coast, Colorado, and southwestern areas. In 1911 he visited the Northeastern Oregon Bark Beetle Project and areas in northern California. His last trip to the west was made in 1915 when he made the rounds of western field stations."
