Answer 1

All your interpretations look fine except for two of them.

Verse 2, #2 -- I see no mention of trees, only the prairies.

Verse 3, #2 -- Canadians <~~needs to be plural, not singular.

Nicely done, overall! =)

So I don't know how to word that one. Should I just omit the trees?

Great prairie spread -- the phrase brings up an image of lots of wide open land -- plenty of room for everyone!
