Excursions
Periodically, maximum once per year Croatian Botanical Society organizes expert excursions for its members, travelling to botanically interesting or poorly studied areas of Croatia. Three such excursions were organized so far, two into mountain areas (Mt. Svilaja and Mt. Strahinjščica) and one coastal excursion (Gulf of Nin). Only members can participate in the excursions, which are designed in a way to have at least one expert guide. The guides are usually local botanists or other researchers who are familiar with the natural characteristics of the area. The excursions are occasionally organized in the cooperation with other societies.

In May 2023 a two-day excursion to Nature Park Papuk was organized for the members, with fieldtrips to forest Jankovac, hill Lapjak and dry grasslands near the village Gornji Vrhovci.
