EcologyThis former gravel pit has been designated an SSSI because it is nationally important for wintering gadwall. There are also several other species of wintering wildfowl, such as goldeneyes and smew.[3] HistoryThe gravel pits at Thorpe Park were developed by Ready Mixed Concrete Ltd in the 1930s for the extraction of both sand and gravel for use in construction. They were intentionally flooded in the 1970s when the site was re-purposed for recreational use.[4][5] The British Trust for Ornithology noted a Wetlands Advisory Service report of 2003 that suggested recreational activities at the site might have contributed to a decline in recorded gadwall numbers.[6] The site is used for waterskiing but the activity is prohibited between 1 October - 31 March, which is the period when the gadwalls use it for feeding. At other times of the year, the number of participants is restricted.[7] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url= https://designatedsites.naturalengland.org.uk/SiteDetail.aspx?SiteCode=S2000382&SiteName=&countyCode=41&responsiblePerson=&SeaArea=&IFCAArea= |title=Designated Sites View: Thorpe Park No 1 Gravel Pit | series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate = 22 December 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web|url= https://magic.defra.gov.uk/MagicMap.aspx?startTopic=Designations&activelayer=sssiIndex&query=HYPERLINK%3D%272000382%27|title=Map of Thorpe Park No 1 Gravel Pit |series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate= 22 December 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web|url= https://designatedsites.naturalengland.org.uk/PDFsForWeb/Citation/2000382.pdf |title=Thorpe Park No 1 Gravel Pit citation|series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate= 22 December 2018}} 4. ^{{cite book |title=Britain's Changing Environment |first=Garrett |last=Nagle |publisher=Nelson Thornes |year=1999 |isbn=978-0-17490-023-8 |page=58 |url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=vcSOdlgBGPYC&pg=PA58}} 5. ^{{cite book |title=The Human Factor in Mining Reclamation |volume=1191 |series=U.S. Geological Survey Circular |first1=Belinda F. |last1=Arbogast |first2=Daniel H. |last2=Knepper |first3=William H. |last3=Langer |publisher=U.S. Geological Survey |year=2000 |isbn=978-0-60793-275-1 |page=16 |url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=p_4kAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA16}} 6. ^{{cite document |title=BTO Research Report No. 361: South West London Waterbodies SPA Wildfowl Population Analysis| publisher=British Trust for Ornithology |pages=9, 19 |url=http://www.bto.org/sites/default/files/u196/downloads/rr361.pdf |accessdate=2015-04-20}} 7. ^{{cite document |title=Appropriate Assessment Report |date=March 2014 |publisher=Runnymede Council |pages=7-8 |url=http://ww2.runnymede.gov.uk/ldf_exam/RBC17.pdf |accessdate=2015-04-20}} Further reading
