What a cute story!

Meet Officer Nevin Swain! 🚔

Nevin is a 4-year-old lifelong Ridgeland resident with a big personality and an even bigger love for law enforcement. While he appreciates all first responders, he will tell you without hesitation that police officers beat firefighters every time!

His favorite officer is none other than Corporal Loveall. In fact, he admires her so much that the team at The Southern Connection Police Supplies, LLC customized his very own police cruiser to match hers—including patrol car number 133, the same as Corporal Loveall's badge number.

We love seeing young members of our community who look up to our officers and share such enthusiasm for serving others. Thank you to The Southern Connection Police Supplies, LLC for helping make Nevin's day and creating a memory he won't soon forget.

Keep patrolling, Officer Nevin—we know Ridgeland is in good hands! 👮‍♂️🚓

Thank you to FIRST Ridgeland Baptist Church for an outstanding volunteer morning at the Ridgeland Wildflower Field and Art Park yesterday. Our thanks to Jake Hill, LIFEserve Associate, for arranging our volunteer days with the church. These volunteers along with Keep Ridgeland Beautiful and City of Ridgeland Parks and Rec team member James Matthews, put out over 50 rolls of pine straw on the berms and entrance beds, providing a fresh look!

Volunteers also cleared out unwanted vegetation in some areas of the field to provide the wildflowers more room to grow.

Visitors and photographers must stay on the paths to protect the growth of the new flowers. Please visit often.

Keep America Beautiful released their National 2026 Litter Study today!

🎉 BIG NEWS: Our 2026 National Litter Study is here!

After months of research, we’re thrilled to release the most comprehensive data on litter in America—and the findings are incredibly encouraging.

Litter across U.S. roadways and waterways is down 34% since 2020. Every American’s share dropped from 152 pieces to 96. This is proof that when communities work together, real change happens.

But our work is far from done—35 billion pieces of litter remain. The study shows us exactly where we need to focus next, and with America’s 250th birthday approaching, there has never been a better time to finish what we started.

📊 Dive into the data and discover what’s working across the country.

Planting a tree today is a commitment to the neighbors
of tomorrow.
This week, we are celebrating the incredible power of
"greening" our neighborhoods. Trees don’t just look
beautiful; they clean our air, provide shade (hello, lower
energy bills!), and offer habitats for local wildlife. If we all
plant one thing this season, imagine how beautiful our
world will be.
What are you planting this spring? Show us your green
thumbs below.
