Skins, Skulls, Tracks, Sign with Dana Valleau

Dana Valleau, a Registered Maine Guide, has spent decades exploring Maine’s woods and waters as a fishing, hunting, whitewater, and recreation guide. In this hands-on presentation, Dana will bring real skins and skulls to explore Maine’s diverse wildlife along with teaching how to identify tracks and sign.
Dana Valleau was born in Bangor, Maine, and raised in Orono, Maine, where he developed a passion for fishing and bird dog training from a young age. He holds a degree in Wildlife Management from the University of Maine and obtained his Juris Doctorate from the same institution in 1990. Following his education, Dana relocated to Greenville, Maine, where he worked as a raft guide for Eastern River Expeditions, primarily on the West Branch of the Penobscot. He earned various Maine guide licenses that year, including whitewater guiding, fishing, recreation, and hunting. Initially, guiding was a part-time pursuit, but in 2022 Dana transitioned to full-time guiding, dedicating himself entirely to exploring Maine’s waters and forests.
