"It is a tremendous honor to join the TLED Board of Directors. This company is built on a foundation of science and innovation, and I am excited to help guide this team and bring value through various outlets. My first order of business will be to expand TLED's application and research in the cannabis industry. We want to continue to illustrate the merits of the Tall Trees LED technologies in terms of environmental stewardship, while also demonstrating that the Tall Trees lighting systems are ideal for producing ultra-premium cannabis. Our experimental designs for this research coupled with our collaborations with world-renowned cannabis cultivators, will yield insight that will be of significant value to the whole industry," states Dr. Zacariah Hildenbrand.

Dr. Hildenbrand will direct the establishment and operation of laboratory research facilities that will investigate the expression of valuable terpenes in cannabis through manipulation of lighting spectrum and nutrient delivery. "We are incredibly excited and honored that Dr. Hildenbrand has accepted our offer to perform on our Board of Directors. I believe his involvement will greatly accelerate our efforts to provide the most efficient, beneficial lighting for food, herbs and algae, and particularly for legal cannabis, where we anticipate increased yields and superior quality," said Tall Trees' CEO, Robert Manes. Dr. Hildenbrand's bio can be found here: https://www.ledesigncorp.com/advisory-board, and his most recent contribution involving sustainability and environmental stewardship within the cannabis industry may be found here: https://www.cannabisindustryjournal.com/column/sustainability-quality-go-hand-in-hand-in-the-cannabis-industry/.
