Wellllll, by the RAW, you cant do it. Druid requires TN, and Saint requires Good. Rather incompatible. If you change your alignment to godd to get the saint template, you should lose the druid abilitys.

Besides, the requirements for sainthood say you must live your whole life dedicated to good. Hard to justify that as a Druid.

Obviously your DM may see it different, but it would never happen IMC

Interesting idea, and maybe you could work out some sort of saintlike template for a superdruid, but it should be very hard to aquire.

Not too sure about that...

From the SRD:
DRUID
Alignment: Neutral good, lawful neutral, neutral, chaotic neutral, or neutral evil.

Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention alignment.
I don't really know how it was before, but in 3.5 druid must have at least ONE neutral component - so beside TN there are also LN, CN, NG and NE possible.

Obviously, Dawn is NG.
