I typed up a big answer and it didn't go through for some reason, I don't want to type again so I'll make this quicker. YES there are plenty of /out/ jobs out there, they do not have to entail living in remote locations.
Before I word vomit, note environmental jobs pay like dog shit across the board, save for the earth sciences and engineering.
A 3 to 4 year bachelor's degree, or a masters, is required for these jobs. 1 to 2 year fish and wildlife technician diplomas are useless. The environmental sector is far too competitive.
Some job titles to search for in your area:
GIS analyst, GIS technian, ecologist, environmental scientist, environmental technician, ecologist, earth scientist, geologist, hydrogeloogist, hydrologist, fluvial geomorphologist, arborist, [urban] forestry technician, environmental planner, environmental engineer, geotechnical engineer, project biologist, endomologist, ornithologist, environmental researcher
The most outdoors of these would be ecologist/project biologist and environmental scientist/technician jobs. Some of the biologists at our firm may be in the office for like 5 hours within a 40 hour work week.
Relevant university degrees include: environmental sciences, earth sciences, geography, environmental management, ecology, biology, planning, enviro/geotechnical engineering
