Biographical Note

Robert P. Conklin was born in Portland, Oregon, in 1900. Conklin's experience in the woods began in 1916 when he was employed on a crew which surveyed and slashed out the route of the Skyline Road in the Oregon (now Mt. Hood) National Forest. In 1917, Conklin took a job with the East Oregon Lumber Company before enlisting in the Army. He served with the Combat Engineers during World War I, leaving the service in 1919 to enroll at Oregon Agricultural College in Corvallis.

After working for various logging and lumber companies including Crown Willamette, Conklin was hired by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company as a logging engineer in the spring of 1927. Conklin moved to the Hemlock Pass Camp in 1928, and then to Headquarters Camp in 1929 where he lived with his family for the next decade. In 1939, Conklin moved to Longview, Washington, continuing to work for Weyerhaeuser. He moved to North Bend, Oregon, in 1943, where he helped construct a sawmill and also establish the Millicoma Tree Farm. In 1951, Conklin left Weyerhaeuser to become vice president of Cascades Plywood Corporation. He served in that position until 1962, when the company merged with United States Plywood Association. Conklin took the new position of west coast land and timber manager, before retiring in January of 1965.

Conklin also served as president of the Pacific Logging Congress, president of the Keep Oregon Green Association, and vice president of the Industrial Forestry Association. He passed away in May of 1969 at 69 years of age.
