Old Truganina Cemetery Grassland, Conservation Area 10

An ungrazed and unploughed settler cemetery, 'Trug' is home to the most important population in federally endangered Button Wrinklewort in Australia. Poorly briefed arborists recently severely damaged the grassland, highlighting governance failures that plague the Melbourne Strategic Assessment.
