Well, as Wiki laid it out in the druidism article: It's the very essence of druidism. By that I mean that: The honouring of nature, respect for all living things and the environment is druidism's most fundamental of fundamentals.
Thats the modern interpretation, but 2000 years ago could've been the opposite.
The point is no-one knows, the romans did such a good job of destroying it, (remember the driuds had no written tenets, it was all memorized). That it could've been the opposite. the druids were certainly into animal/human sacrifice in a big way, even shocking the normally unflapable romans. This seems to contradict with the touchy feely religion you described.
