I had some small apple trees girdled by a rodent is there any way to save them?

If the bark has bee stripped all the way around the trunk then the tree is gone.  If there is any bark remaining then it may eventually grow back.  In the future, wrap the trunk with tree wrap in the fall to prevent this type of damage.  Once the trees are olde and have formed rough, mature bark, the mice and voles will leave it alone but, while they are young with smooth bark, rodents will always be a threat.
