Have you looked into Unity College in Unity, Maine? Their science programs are geared toward environmental/conservation jobs, so if you think that you might want to be a game warden, a forest ranger, marine patrol-person, etc, you can get an education appropriate to your career-track.
 
You may want to look into geophysics. Geophysicists can spend a lot of time outdoors and in some very interesting places such as antarctica.
