Under the vigilant care of their parents, Bucky and “Mystery,” the chicks hatched safely and were recently banded by specialists from the Wisconsin Peregrine Falcon Recovery Project. Banding plays a vital role in conservation, giving researchers critical data to monitor migration patterns, survival rates, and overall contributions to restoring this once-endangered species.

This year’s chicks have been named Tork, Chase, Soar, and Storm. Tork was selected through Essity’s first-ever employee naming vote, with nearly 300 employees across North America participating. The remaining names were chosen by the Menasha team and reflect the speed, strength, and grace of these remarkable birds—renowned for reaching speeds of over 200 miles per hour in flight.

With the addition of this year’s hatchlings, 18 peregrine falcons have now hatched at the Menasha Mill over the past 11 years—an inspiring milestone in our longstanding partnership with the Wisconsin Peregrine Falcon Recovery Project.

Essity is proud to support this important work and remains a dedicated partner in promoting sustainability and protecting local biodiversity.
