In a heartfelt tribute to George Harrison’s lifelong love for nature and spirituality, the Harrison family has officially opened a new nature sanctuary in his honor. Located on the outskirts of Liverpool, the sanctuary is designed as a peaceful refuge for wildlife and a place where visitors can reconnect with the natural world—values George often spoke about during his lifetime.
The sanctuary features gardens inspired by Harrison’s time in India, meditation spaces, and wildlife preservation areas that reflect his devotion to environmental causes. Olivia Harrison, George’s widow, said at the opening ceremony, “George believed that protecting nature was a sacred duty. This sanctuary is our way of carrying forward his vision of harmony between people and the earth.”
Adding to the emotional significance of the event, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr pledged their support to the project. Paul praised the initiative, saying, “George always had a deep connection to the natural world. This sanctuary feels like him—it’s peaceful, loving, and real.” Ringo added with a smile, “George would have loved it. It’s full of life, just like he was.”
The sanctuary is open to the public and aims to serve as both a wildlife haven and a community educational center, teaching future generations the importance of conservation. Beatles fans and nature lovers alike have already begun visiting, turning the sanctuary into a living tribute to Harrison’s enduring spirit.
