She has raised thousands of dollars and awareness on many issues, including coal seam gas mining, climate change, sustainability, homelessness, koala populations and deforestation.

One of her projects is to save the Ballina koalas from a proposed highway upgrade and she has made a documentary, presented at a school assembly and interviewed the local Member of Parliament on the subject. Holley has also formed partnerships with a global youth movement called Earth Guardians, the US TV network HBO, the Lock The Gate movement and the Uplift Festival. environment.nsw.gov.au/greenglobes/2014/young-champion.htm
