The Park has been used as a sanctuary for many species that have been cleared from the surrounding areas because of the spreading urban development.

| The Organ Pipes National Park is an example of a re-created basalt
plain grassland. Some of the species grown in the park are endangered
outright or in danger of becoming locally extinct. An example is Callitris
glaucophylla-Murray Pine. This species has been significantly affected by
European settlement. Some trees in near the the park are thought to be
over a hundred years old, probably the best protected occurrence of the
species south of the Great Dividing Range.

Compiled from lists of Barry Kemp, Rosemary Myers, L. Jolley and Keith McDougall; * indicates an exotic species. @ - re-introduced and persisting. # - re-introduced but also occurring naturally in the Park.
There are 164 native species and 113 exotic species recorded for the Park.
These numbers will continue to change as further re-introductions of basalt
plains flora are made and exotic species are eradicated.
