Your wildflowers are beautiful! Even the invasive species. I grew up in Washington State where the white trillium was a plant I would call my favorite wildflower and grew in our woods on the property I was raised on. I occasionally see one here or there in Idaho too. I had never seen a red trillium before, they are striking!
I am sorry to hear that the Plover is endangered there. I live in Idaho currently. I don't believe there is anything I can do to help from here. Can a large group visit that governing body to stop it?
The White Trillium is one of my personal favourites as well, it also happens to be our provincial flower for Ontario.
It was only a few years ago I first found out we had Red Trilliums myself. Unlike the White Trillium, they're quite a bit smaller, and also smell like wet dog I've found out.
For the Plover, quite a few local environmental organizations have caught on to this issue, and have began work on the issue, it will be interesting to see how this plays out in time. I'm not sure there's much that can be done on your end, but I, and I'm sure the Wasaga Plovers appreciate that you're thinking of them.

Thank you, Sheryl!

Really wish I could help more, but not economically viable for me...appreciated your story on them!
