This volunteer group from Central Otago and Mackenzie Country has been carrying out conservation work here since 2004, under agreement with the Department of Conservation. The objective is to enhance the outstanding natural open character of the snow tussock grassland, for its ecological and aesthetic values.
Core work is weed control and planting of snow tussocks grown from seed sourced in the Pass into degraded areas to assist natural recovery, and to assess the success of different planting methods. 2000 tussocks are being planted over the next 2 years.

Sweet Brier and Russell Lupins are a dominant landscape feature in the Longslip Creek and Lindis River valleys, especially when flowering in spring. The sweeping tussockland of the Lindis Pass Scenic Reserve by contrast is markedly free of woody weeds and lupins, thanks to the efforts of the Lindis Pass Conservation Group.
