Botanical surveys commissioned by the HCC and FoKL have identified that Knocklofty Reserve contains over 300 species of native plants growing in ten dry and wet sclerophyll forest communities. Nine rare and threatened plant species have been identified, including the Knocklofty Leek Orchid [Prasophyllum perangustum], which is unique to the reserve . Plantings of over 30,000 plants have been designed to restore native plants to areas disturbed by quarrying grazing and woody weed growth and to provide habitat for the various fauna species living in the reserve.
