Bio: Don Pigott worked in a variety of positions during his 13 years in the Forest Research Department at MacMillan Bloedel, where his responsibilities included seed supply for their reforestation program, establishment of their seed orchards, and supervision of their operational tree improvement program. In 1982 he founded Yellow Point Propagation Ltd., a private Silviculture company providing a wide variety of services including cone and seed supply and processing, and tree improvement consulting to the forest industry in British Columbia, Alberta, the United States, and Europe.
