Abstract: Abstract Plenteous natural potential has not guaranteed the welfare of the people who settle around it. The same is true for the Magersaren settlers who live in Boro Sumbersari Hamlet, Karangploso District, Malang Regency, which is also a forest area managed by Universitas Brawijaya (UB Forest). This study aims to describe the community service activities carried out by UB lecturers and students in empowering the Magersaren community who live in UB forest to process their natural wealth into handicrafts as well as to market them. This study uses qualitative method to examine the entrepreneurship and the participatory behavior of the Magersaren people. The result shows that craft production requires creativity and product innovation based on perseverance. The knowledge gained in this research activity is the application of this concept of social green entrepreneurship which combines the three pillars of ecological, economic and social sustainability; can contribute to strengthening the Magersaren community self-sufficiency in handicraft production, and a lot of rural parts in Indonesia which are culturally and naturally rich of potentials. This leads us one step forward in helping their green economy to thrive.
