Funny thing, your comment reminds me of a reflection I had some time ago - that EU should IMO invest much more into propaganda. Not to paper over its deficiencies, but because people invent anti-EU messages on their own accord, and it dominates the conversation. Similarly with Natural England program you mentioned, EU is doing good work in many other places too - but people don't know it, because nobody cares to highlight it. So it feels EU is all about bureaucracy and creating another USSR - because that's the only thing people are talking about.
(It pisses me off in my country in particular, because a lot of people complain about paying to EU not realizing that we're still a net beneficiary, and just how much infrastructure around them was built or upgraded by EU money. The playgrounds they take their kids to. The roads and bridges they drive over. I mean, given how much money our local "entrepreneurs" steal from EU grants all the time, people should be at least a little bit grateful.)

I think investing in "propaganda" would be a good start. However, we don't need to do that for any other part of the government which really is a smell.
