Brief Bio of Dana Bryan:
Dana served for 30 years in the Florida Park Service, three times honored as the nation’s best state park system. He started with the Florida Park Service in 1986 as a district biologist, then promoted to the Tallahassee central office in 1990 and followed Jim Stevenson as the state-wide chief biologist for the next 15 years. For 9 of those years as bureau chief, he coordinated both natural and cultural resource management in all 174 units of the state park system. He served on the federal recovery teams for the Florida manatee and the Florida panther. He has served as an instructor for the Natural Areas Training Academy, Florida Master Naturalist Course, and the national State Park Leadership School.
Dana received a master’s in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from FSU, where he studied the Limpkin and later authored the species accounts in the Birds of North America and other publications. His master’s advisors were Fran James and Bruce Means, and he later was a research associate at Tall Timbers Research Station.
Dana has lived in Tallahassee since 1978 and has been active on the boards, as an officer, and as a field trip leader in a number of environmental organizations over the years, including the Florida Audubon Society, Apalachee Audubon Society, Birdsong Nature Center, St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge Association, and the Tallahassee Scientific Society.
