- Biographical or historical data
- Bestor Robinson served as a member of the Secretary of Interior's Advisory Committee on Conservation and the California Region's Forest Service Advisory Committee during the 1940s and 1950s. He regarded independence as prerequisite to this service. It wasn't until his involvement with the issue of Mineral King in the Sierra that his independence became most visible. During the late 1960s, many winter ski enthusiasts found that wilderness lovers, especially the Sierra Club, opposed Disney's proposed development of Mineral King as a ski resort. Robinson, who served as Sierra Club president during the late 40s and as director from 1935 into the 1960s, believed a ski facility was the highest possible use for Mineral King. He accepted membership on the Disney conservation advisory council with the objective to insure that Mineral King achieve the least possible scenic damage and the maximum possible recreational use.
