SER SIERRA — real photograph from a workshop
Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta
SER SIERRA
A pedagogical garden and living lab of nature education for children, families and communities.
The project
A living space of play, nature and regeneration. SER SIERRA is a project to reconnect with life starting in childhood, transforming how we inhabit and understand the world. It's a living pedagogical garden — a physical and symbolic space on Finca Donama that works across three pillars.
Pedagogical garden
A living classroom where we learn from nature and sow awareness starting in childhood.
A gateway to regenerative tourism
The starting point for transformative experiences that connect with the Sierra and its culture.
Territorial network
Weaves and strengthens a network of experiences and training to regenerate life and the social fabric in the Sierra.
How you can help: donate to strengthen workshops, field trips and restoration projects; join community events and gatherings; or sign on as a volunteer with your time, knowledge or resources.

A real workshop cycle, not just a promise
Five environmental-education workshops for children, already held in 2025, with more than 90 child participations.
The seeds that speak
Seed bombs
Guardians of pollen
Walking to care
Creation and planting
Each workshop blends play, observation and planting: from recognizing seeds and building seed bombs, to understanding the role of pollinators and rescuing seedlings on a guided walk. The cycle is part of a self-funded environmental education project (internal code C3699), with attendance recorded per workshop.
