Come on Janet your having a laugh. I dont think you will find an expert anywhere within Natural England, Forestry Commission or Environment Agency and if you actually asked farmers their opinion on such bodies I bet 90% of farmers would vote for there abolition. They have certainly not done anything to help the farming community. Just remember who flooded the Somerset levels it was not farmers but the Environment Agency in partnership with the RSPB.Hi - I feel your pain on keeping up with the threads, I feel like I am woefully failing on that front despite best efforts!
The delivery partners (sorry for using unhelpful jargon) are the RPA, who administer schemes, and also Natural England, Forestry Commission and Environment Agency who provide expert input to scheme design (along with farmers, stakeholders and other experts) and have a role in providing statutory advice (and other functions) eg in respect of SSSI sites, woodland creation and maintenance, and watercourse protection
