We couldn’t have said it better ourselves, Julie Andrews. Now more than ever, it’s important to remember the things that make us happiest about our home state. That’s why we want you to name our peregrine falcon chicks after your favorite things about Wisconsin.

Peregrine falcon
program
We Energies and Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) are honored
to be a part of a statewide effort to restore the peregrine falcon population.
The Department of Natural Resources added peregrine falcons to Wisconsin’s
endangered species list in the 1970s.
Since our
first successful nest box in the mid-90s, 402 peregrine falcons have hatched at
our facilities. The falcons are drawn to tall structures along Lake Michigan or
major rivers, which make many of the We Energies and WPS facilities ideal
nesting sites.
This program is another way We Energies and WPS demonstrate
environmental stewardship. From helping endangered animals and restoring
natural habitats, to building new solar facilities and reducing carbon
emissions, we are committed to a cleaner future.
