Biographical
note |
|
Runkel
served in the United Stated Air Force as a glider pilot during World War
II and was wounded in the June 6, 1944 D-Day invasion of Normandy when
his glider was shot down. For his wartime efforts he received a purple
heart, an air medal, a bronze arrowhead, and a Presidential Unit
Citation in 1944. In 1947
Runkel rejoined the SCS in Ottumwa, Iowa as a soil conservationist,
forester, and biologist. In 1952 he was transferred to Des Moines and
became the State Biologist. He was appointed by the Governor to the
State Preserves Board in 1969 and served for ten years, two as chairman.
After his retirement from the
SCS in 1972 Runkel drafted four environmental impact statements for Iowa
Watershed projects and co-authored five books: Wildflowers of the
Iowa Woodlands (1987), Wildflowers of the Illinois Woodlands
(1994), Wildflowers of the Indiana Woodlands (1994, with Alvin F.
Bull), Wildflowers of the Tallgrass Prairie: the upper Midwest (1989)
and Wildflowers and other plants of Iowa wetlands (1999, with
Dean M. Roosa). Runkel was active in several organizations; he served as president of the Iowa Chapter of the Soil Conservation Society of America, the Iowa Chapter of the Wildlife Society, the Iowa Chapter of the Society of American Foresters, and the Des Moines Audubon Society and was on the Board of Directors of the Iowa Academy of Science for two years. He was also particularly involved with the Boy Scouts of America. Runkel has received many awards for his dedication to the natural world, including recognition as the Federal Civil Servant of the Year in 1965, the Iowa Society of American Forester's Frudden Award in 1967, election to the Iowa Conservation Hall of Fame in 1973, a fellow of the Soil Conservation Society of America in 1974, a fellow of the Iowa Academy of Science, the Oak Leaf Award from the Nature Conservancy in 1977 and State Conservationist of the Year in 1987.After
promoting conservation for many years by assisting numerous groups with
talks, nature walks; slide programs, workshops, and developing a
wildlife series for the Iowa Public Television Network Sylvan Runkel's
name became synonymous with conservation in Iowa. He was recognized for
his particular efforts in the Loess Hills by becoming the namesake for a
state preserve in Monona County, Iowa in 1996. Runkel
married Beulah Skeie in 1930 and became a widower in 1949. He married
Bernadine Neff in 1952. He has four sons and two daughters. Sylvan Runkel passed away in 1995.

Collection
description |
|
Runkel's retirement from the SCS in 1972 allowed him more time to dedicate to these pursuits and much of the collection reflects his activities after 1972, including the records from the five books he co-authored as well as the four extensive Watershed studies he conducted on a contract basis after leaving the SCS. There is also considerable documentation relating to Runkel's activity in numerous special interest organizations, including records from the Soil Conservation Society of America. In addition to more formal correspondence and other records, the collection also contains a substantial amount of often incomplete notes and writings that illuminate Runkel's perspective on several topics, including the relationship between man and nature, a subject he spend much time thinking about and discussing. The collection consists of fourteen series: 1. Biographical Information, 1925-1998, n.d., 2. Appointment/address books, 1942-1992, n.d., 3. Awards, 1967-1993, n.d., 4. Writings, 1948-1991, n.d. (including three subseries: 4a. General 4b. Talks and 4c. Wildflower books), 5. Nature walks, 1951-1985, n.d., 6. United States Soil Conservation Service (includes one subseries 6a. Watersheds [post-retirement], 1937-1991, n.d., 7. Iowa State Preserves Board, 1965-1996, n.d., 8. Conferences/workshops, 1955-1982, n.d., 9. Groups (including one subseries 9a.
