But what truly defines us is our people.

A Culture You Can See in Action. 

Our culture isn’t something written on a wall—it’s how we show up, how we treat each other, and how we get the job done.  It’s been shaped over more than 140 years of experience, passed down through stories, lessons, and the people who live it every day.  

When you join Irving Woodlands, you’ll notice it right away

What You’ll See Here 

The forest needs all kinds. 

Many careers. One team. 

Some people work outside—planting trees, building roads, or running harvesters. Others are in the lab leading cutting-edge research, or in the nursery growing better trees.  Some plan years ahead, mapping where to harvest and where to leave alone.  Others keep the operation running from the office.  And some lead the teams into what comes next. ​

More than 2,000 people keep the sustainable cycle of harvest and renewal going. Full-time staff. Seasonal crews. Independent contractors. ​

Different days.  Different skills.  One team. ​
