The East Ayrshire Coalfield Environment Initiative (CEI) was launched in October 2002 and is a partnership between the local authority, conservation bodies and industry, working together to enhance, conserve, and promote the environment in East Ayrshire.

The CEI believes that a high quality environment, rich in biodiversity, will make East Ayrshire a valuable and attractive place for people to live, work and play.

The 3 aims of the CEI are :

Environment – to enhance the natural environment and landscape within the CEI project area

Understanding – to increase understanding and appreciation of East Ayrshire’s wildlife and its value, providing and developing opportunities for learning about and experiencing wildlife

Engagement – to increase community participation in wildlife conservation, enabling local people to contribute to environmental improvements and develop new skills
