Take your biology courses, and maybe some geology would help out.
At the University of Tennessee in Knoxville we have a Wildlife and Fisheries Science program along with Forestry. Most other colleges should have something like that. Philosophy, English, and Psychology courses are also good to have on your resume for some wild land jobs.
Volunteer hours at your local or state park too. That will give you experience and prepare you for future endeavors. Experience is everything.

When I was at Cornell U., you could major in Wildlife Conservation. I suspect that you can do the same at other universities. If this is not feasible, try a zoology major.
