Yep, if you're going to Midway, you gotta scrub your shoes -- with brush & soapy water...and really check all luggage to be sure there are no soil, seeds, plants, insects or other animals accidentally backed along with your clothes.
The Refuge is a unique ecosystem. Non-native species accidentally carried to Midway can get out of control and become serious pests, completely damaging Midway's ecosystem. Take a look at the pictures in FOAM's "Alien Invasive Plant Activity" (top menu bar) to see how the non-native plant Verbesina has become a terrible, terrible pest.
