HISTORY AT POINT LOBOS 85 



prog:ram of the Point Lobos Association, which from 1927 to 1933, under 

 the leadership of Mrs. Robert Hunter, devoted study to means of conserva- 

 tion. 



Carryinfj on this proo-ram, the organization meeting of the Advisory 

 Committee on Protection and Use of Point Lobos (a committee of the 

 Save-the-Redwoods League) was held on November 29, 1933, at the Cus- 

 todian's Lodge, Point Lobos. 



A master plan for Point Lobos Reserve, developed over a number of 

 years, was adopted by the State Park Commission, of which William E. 

 Colby then was chairman. 



Among the values to which due attention has been given are those of 

 the human interest which inheres in this area because of its historic back- 

 ground. Not only is this preserved in place names and in local associations, 

 but also in a number of unobtrusive reminders that the uses of Point Lobos 

 and the adjacent area have been varied. But, fortunateh', the economic de- 

 velopment, definitely terminated many years ago, was never intensive, and 

 pertained principally to picturesque industries such as whaling, fishing 

 and herding which affected the aspect of the countryside very little indeed. 

 As most of the economic activities were concentrated in one place, Carmelo 

 Cove, the woods and meadows of Point Lobos have remained much as they 

 always were, though enriched with tradition and historic interest.
