Re: Study vs work experience

As Eeyore says - both! You really need some academic qualification - there are plenty of interesting ecology/environment degrees courses but also having practical working experience will ensure that you get a job. So have a gap year? Do week end volunteering? Go on a degree that has work-placements?
You shouldn't need to rush and there's a lot to be said for having a year out (some people forget how to study!) as long as you're not starving ...
Good luck with whatever you decide ....
