This descriptive research with a qualitative approach focuses on the mining area ASOGRASTORRES (Graveler Association of Sabana de Torres) department of Santander, where its inhabitants engaged in exploration and exploitation of the deposit of building materials. This activity affects the welfare of present and future generations, because for 35 years the soil has been tapped and several points in the area of influence are now abandoned and turned into large gullies. Therefore, the intervention aimed to sensitize the community to the protection and restoration of the environment by implementing ecological farming practices from environmental education. The intervention was conducted in three phases: diagnostic, in which the problem was analyzed together with the mining community, in a second stage, workshops that would allow community visualize the before and after the territory, which facilitated implement and evaluate agroecological practices were developed. The intervention constituted a space of social ownership where the community interacted, analyzed results, assumed responsible practices such as the regeneration of the areas impacted by the extraction of gravel and top dressing, managing to recover areas through agroforestry production creating a symbiosis between the exploitation of natural element soil that provides minerals and how to recover vegetation cover from ecological farming practices, leading to those involved in this project to be multipliers of experience.
