Protecting natural resources is at the heart of the efforts of the Brewer-based Penobscot County Conservation Association. The group, which also works to preserve outdoor heritage with hunting, fishing and trapping, has been a fixture in eastern Maine since 1938. As the group moves into the summer of its 84th year, it faces challenges in continuing to provide the services, education and scholarships that are at the core of its mission. The organization of approximately 200 members is aware that to prosper in the years to come, it must recruit new — and younger — members. That’s part of its motivation for holding “Family Fun Day” on Saturday.
