The courses related to the major are great. Depending on your university, many involve some sort of field work (I'd say at least 60-70% of the courses at mine did). You should be able to choose courses that fit your interests (Ornithology, Dendrology, Limnology, etc.)
I know a lot of people ask about math difficulty when exploring this field. The level of math needed isn't difficult (most Bachelor's programs only require college algebra, but you'll need calculus if you want to go to grad school). The catch is that you'll be required to perform a lot of statistical calculations and form statistical models. Things like calculating the potential growth rates and patterns of a population based on a bunch of external variables may seem difficult at first, but you sort of get used to it.
As far as writing and comp&rhet, in order to become certified, you need to take an analytical writing course, which may or may not be listed as a graduation requirement in your course planner.
