Jack Holloway (ecologist)
He was the only child of Margaret Brenda North and husband John Ernest Holloway, a vicar in the Anglican Church.Over the course of eight years Holloway made over 50 new ascents on the Olivine and Barrier Ranges, including discovering twelve new passes, and he produced detailed maps.[5] In 1938 Holloway sailed for Britain to undertake PhD studies in plant physiology at the Imperial College of Science and Technology and Rothamstead Experimental Station.These observational studies led to many of the papers that Holloway wrote in his life, including "Forests and Climates in South New Zealand."[citation needed] Holloway was the leader of the forest survey team, also comprising Jack Henry and J. Everett, on the 1949 New Zealand American Fiordland Expedition.
