Aerial Photography, Videography, and Drones

As the Paine is a private organization, we exercise Wisconsin statute 942.10, where the law prohibits photography, recording, or observing individuals in a place where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Advance written approval is required for aerial photography and use of drones over Paine property. Proof of insurance, FAA license and registration, and adhering to all federal and state laws is required. For the safety of all visitors, drones may not be used during open hours.
