It shows how, against long odds, the Sierra Club prevented the Walt Disney Company from building a massive ski resort in the magnificent Mineral King Valley of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Proposed in 1965, the vast Disney development would have irretrievably altered the relatively untouched Mineral King Valley in the Southern Sierra Nevada mountains. The Sierra Club's lawsuit against the development went to the United States Supreme Court and resulted in an immensely important decision that not only ultimately preserved the Mineral King Valley but also opened the way for environmental groups to challenge other destructive projects throughout the country by finding that public interest groups had "standing" or the right to bring lawsuits like this. The story is set against the backdrop of the environmental movement that suddenly emerged and swept the country in the late 1960s and early 1970s"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a A resort in the American Alps -- An invitation from the Forest Service -- Dueling applications -- A cabinet brawl -- A recreation and conservation plan -- Formulating a lawsuit -- A shocking injunction -- The shutout -- Standing front and center -- Opening the courthouse door -- Cracks in the wall of support -- A park-barrel bill. 650 0 $a Environmental law $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Environmental protection $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Environmental policy $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Actions and defenses $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Nature conservation $x History. $z Sierra Nevada (Calif. and Nev.) $x History. 651 0 $a Mineral King Valley (Calif.) 610 20 $a Sierra Club. 610 20 $a Walt Disney Company. 941 $a 5 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240202024025.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20230817010300.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517010706.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220902010911.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220802023118.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C538478E122B11EDB028045E3CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
