Irving Family

The family’s J.D. IRVING LIMITED celebrated a major milestone in 2022: its 140th anniversary. James Dergavel “J.D.” Irving (1860–1933) founded a sawmill, a gristmill, a carding mill, and several farms in New Brunswick, Canada. J.D.’s son, K.C., acquired substantial timberland holdings in New Brunswick, as well as in neighboring Maine. The Irvings currently rank as the Pine Tree State’s largest private landowners. Equally impressive is their legacy of forest stewardship. Irving Woodlands has planted more than 1 billion trees in Canada and the US, and all of the company’s Maine woodlands are certified under the Forest Stewardship Council program.
