To further explore the ecological environment problems and restoration countermeasures of abandoned mines, the ecological restoration project of abandoned mines in Enhe town area of Zhongning County was studied. Based on the field measurement and identification of many land resource loss data, the occurrence law of ecological restoration of abandoned mines left over by history is analyzed. The results show that the abandoned mines in Enhe town of Zhongning County have the conditions of destroying topography, land resources, biodiversity, and geological environment. According to the principle of adjusting measures to local conditions, the corresponding recovery and processing methods are adopted for different map points, such as landscape restoration, land resources recovery and restoration, mine vegetation restoration, mine geological environment hidden danger management, monitoring, and post-management and protection. The practice results show that the above measures have achieved good economic and ecological benefits.
