The research, of a qualitative nature, combined a bibliographic review, document analysis and three technical visits to the reserve between November 2024 and April 2025, with the objective of evaluating the educational activities existing on the Titara trail and proposing improvements to increase its pedagogical impact. The trail was analyzed in seven strategic points, in which emblematic species, such as the Araticum-do-Mato (Annona montana) and the Visgueiro (Parkia pendula), stand out as teaching resources to discuss ecological interactions and environmental services. The Curva do Dendê (Elaeis guineensis), in turn, served as a critical counterpoint to debate the impacts of exotic monocultures on biodiversity. The lack of more signage with plaques was identified as a central gap, which motivated the proposal to install plaques with QR Codes to access multimedia content, integrating technical information and curiosities with the content to which the plaque refers. The meditation space, located on the banks of Lagoa das Andorinhas, is seen as a strategic location for reflective syntheses, allowing for the consolidation of concepts such as ecological interdependence and collective responsibility. The research also highlighted tensions inherent in the management of RPPNs, such as the coexistence of native and invasive exotic species such as bamboo, reinforcing the need to integrate practical management actions with educational activities. The interpretive trail of RPPN Garabu, when improved with the proposals presented, can transcend its informative character, becoming a model of critical EA in private conservation units. The study demonstrates that Private Natural Heritage Reserves, such as the Santo Antônio Plant, aligned with the SNUC (Law 9.985/2000), are viable and can contribute to the development of citizens engaged in environmental protection.ptAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 BrazilCiências Biológicas - LicenciaturaEducação ambientalTrilha interpretativaUsina Santo Antônio (AL) – Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) GarabuEnvironmental educationInterpretive trailConservation unitsTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS
