The Holloway Conservation Reserve is a freehold block located near Maleny in south east Queensland. It is named after Mr Noel Holloway who donated the land to WLFL.

The reserve consists of about 15 hectares of well vegetated land and is approximately 10 km south of the Witta Reserve.

It supports various closed forests with Sydney blue gum forest on the ridges. A continuously flowing stream runs through the reserve and this maintains the diversity of habitats. Up to five koalas have been seen on the block.

The land contains three regionally endangered ecosystems (the main one is Sydney blue gum with rainforest understorey). A noted rainforest botanist has offered to help WLFL with a flora survey of the block.

Apart from some weed problems, the land is in good condition. The main weeds are broad leaved privet and lantana and these will require early action and ongoing treatment.

The reserve has a management plan and weed control plan which guides working parties and contracted work on the reserve.
