High School Visits<br />
In an effort to ensure that the younger generations in the area were given a chance to provide their<br />
input into the plan, school programs were conducted at three different high schools in the watershed area.<br />
Students from Coudersport High School, Port Allegany High School, and Smethport High School were<br />
all engaged in open discussion that provided insight into the future of the watershed and also shed some<br />
light on what their concerns are for the watershed area. The results of the student surveys are listed below.<br />
* Indicates that the response was identified by more than one of the schools<br />
