The study aimed to facilitate the composting process with leaves collected on the campus of URI/Santo Angelo-RS, with the planting of collected seeds for activities in Environmental Education. Practical development was held in Campus area with elementary school students of the School Dr. Orlando Sparta de Souza in partnership with Eco-NGO Global Missions. The organic materials used in composting are decomposable along with the implementation of earthworms Eisenia andrei as physical and chemical parameters required for the reactions. The formed slurry is a biofertilizer used in a 1: 10L. The humus, after thirty days, was mixed 1:10 with lato-soil soil from Santo Angelo to prepare the substrate which was placed in transparent PET bottles (2L), where the seeds were sown by the students involved. The sowing of the plant species provides the production of seedlings which were grown in an ultimate site in the community surrounding the school. The interaction between the university and the community is essential, so that environmental education rescues personal values and also promotes social and environmental well-being. It becomes a sustainable alternative on the recovering of damaged areas and restoration riparian forests and environmental education.
