Grays Chalk Pit SSSI was being degraded in scientific interest as it was becoming secondary woodland. Tree felling is the first stage of restoring 50% of the floor of the pit to chalk grassland supporting rare plants and invertebrates which was why the SSSI designation was earned. The site is owned and managed by Essex Wildlife Trust http://www.essexwt.org.uk/.
