Totara Reserve Regional Park consists of 340 ha of native bush adjacent to the Pohangina River, north of Ashhurst. On various river terraces are podocarp dominated forest remnants, mainly kahikatea (up to 50 m tall) with some rimu and matai. Also of note are locations rich in mature totara. One of the largest totara in the park can be seen next to Churchill Drive, running through the northern part of the park (Smillie, 2014).
