As suggested, the integrity and authenticity of this cluster has to be conserved though this does not mean that all the tangible and intangible heritages within the plane have to be preserved intact. Relevant government units can proceed with appropriate development or construction works as long as it does not destroy the historical and cultural context of the Iron Mine landscape. In theory, almost all of the land in the Peak District belongs to the government and conservation may not present too many challenges when compared to other compact urban areas.

The cultural heritage conservation of the MOS Iron Mine has largely been undertaken by local NGOs so far. The ELCHK has served the residents of the MOS Iron Mine since the 1950s. In 2012, they started to revitalise their church compound, hoping to promote the historical and cultural values of the Iron Mine to the general public. The site was renamed as the Grace Youth Camp. Their conservation strategy is based on four elements: industrial heritage, social heritage of the mine village, religious heritage and ecological heritage. Programmes and activities suitable for different groups have been developed, including heritage tour, eco tour, day camp, workshop, mine challenge etc. They have also transformed part of Yan Kwong Church into a Miners’ Cafe for visitors to learn about the history of the Mine whilst serving food inspired by the miners — steamed bun with fermented bean curd and iron ore cookies. In addition, the Grace Youth Camp hosts the annual Hong Kong Mine Challenge. It is a minethemed charitable race to boost public attention to the importance of conserving the mine village and revitalising human history. Perhaps Grace Youth Camp can also serve as a base to organise “Friends for conserving the MOS Iron Mine landscape” to tap into community resources for co-learning and co-working purposes. Efforts made by the ELCHK can become the foundation of conservation strategies for the MOS Iron Mine and given their continuous efforts, they deserve to receive more support from the government and the general public.

Religious organisations have played an indispensable role in the history of the MOS Iron Mine. The religious buildings constructed in the Mine village still stand today, reminding people of the spiritual support given by the churches. The St. Joseph’s Chapel compound of the Catholic Church has been in disrepair since the person in charge, Mr. Zhang, Bo, passed away in 2000s. The current situation of the compound is much worse when compared to the Lutheran Yan Kwong Church compound. With reference to the revitalisation efforts by Yan Kwong Chuch, the St. Joseph’s Chapel compound, given its spacious area, could provide for religious and conservation activities such as wedding ceremony, retreat camp site and exhibition venue. It is the vision of the Grace Youth Camp to revitalise other structures in the MOS Iron Mine landscape apart from the Lutheran Yan Kwong Church compound. Revitalisation of the St. Joseph's Chapel compound could be included as a second stage of ELCHK’s revitalisation plan with financial assistance from the government. The government may consider setting up a new funding scheme similar to the Nature Conservation Management Agreement Scheme to facilitate small scale revitalisation works of graded historic buildings initiated and operated by NGOs for public use, supplementing it with other existing funding sources such as the Countryside Conservation Funding Scheme run by the Environmental Protection Department.

Although the Franciscans have no intention to revitalise the St. Joseph’s Chapel compound, the St. Joseph’s Secondary School (MOSSJSS) has developed a school-based curriculum titled “Cyber Saddle” based on the legacy of the OFM to encourage the younger generations to investigate the history embedded in the built and natural environment in the MOS Iron Mine. MOSSJSS has also organised an eco-tour learning programme to train gifted students to become eco-tour ambassadors in MOS in 2012 and 2013. The school also set up a heritage room with collections related to the contribution of OFM in the MOS Iron Mine. These educational programmes communicate to the younger generations our duty to care about the rich history embedded in the natural and built environment in the MOS Iron Mine landscape.

Perhaps the teaching and learning experience of the MOSSJSS can be documented so that the programme can be adapted by other schools in the MOS District and beyond. The conservation at the Peak District provides ample learning resources for academic subjects such as history, economics, geography, liberal studies and even STEAM related knowledge. Also, the MOS Iron Mine landscape would be a suitable subject for producing educational videos to stimulate student’s interests in Hong Kong’s industrial heritage and its relationships with multi-dimensional developments in space and time. With proper financial and technical support, similar courses can be piloted in schools in the MOS District and then gradually expanded to other schools in Hong Kong. Universities can also be involved in providing research and training support to teachers and students in secondary schools.

Stakeholders of the MOS Iron Mine can also cooperate with other NGOs to promote the conservation of industrial heritage. The Conservancy Association Centre for Heritage (CACHe) is a non-profit conservation group that actively promotes the conservation of history, cultures and heritages in Hong Kong. It often cooperates with professionals and amateurs from various specific fields to organise lectures, field trips, exhibitions and release publications to enhance public awareness of heritage conservation (CACHe n.d.). Organisations similar to CACHe would be a perfect partner to help promote the values of the MOS Iron Mine.​
